A spot in the BBL final is up for grabs tonight when the Perth Scorchers take on the Sydney Sixers in the Qualifier at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:15pm (AEDT).
The Scorchers and Sixers have long been the powerhouses of the BBL competition, having won three titles each. In all likelihood, one of these teams will add to their tally this year; winning the Qualifier makes their path a fair bit easier.
Perth are the minor premiers in BBL11, with an impressive 11-3 record. There doesn’t appear to be a weakness.
There is not a better top six in the competition, especially with Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis returning to the line-up. Colin Munro is the team’s highest run-scorer, but the honours have been evenly spread, underlining their depth. Kurtis Patterson and Ashton Turner have also had strong tournaments.
Their bowling attack is the most miserly in the competition, led by Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff and Ashton Agar. If that’s not hard enough, Jhye Richardson will get a start in the finals series after missing much of the season on Test duty.
The Sixers are looking to achieve the ‘three-peat’ this season, and continue to find ways to win when the odds look against them. Their second spot has been achieved despite encountering a number of setbacks along the way.
For Sydney’s batting order, the keys are Josh Philippe and Moises Henriques, who sit third and sixth on the Golden Bat standings for the tournament’s leading run-scorer. If either of them get amongst the runs, the Sixers tend to win.
Hayden Kerr and Ben Dwarshuis have been the key wicket-takers for the reigning champs, whilst Sean Abbott has the ability to change the game on his own with bat or ball.
The Sixers are bolstered by the inclusion of Test spinner Nathan Lyon, bringing more variety to the attack.
Prediction:
In disappointing news for Sixers fans, Cricket Australia has ruled out Steve Smith from a finals call-up, and without him, the Scorchers do look the better team on paper.
However, you never rule out a champion team, and Sydney are surely that after their recent success.
Having said all that, the Scorchers may have just a bit too much firepower.

Smith was never in the Sixers squad. He wasn't signed at the start. They wanted to add him. They were only able to draw from the pool. Smith was never an option.

My point was that the Sixers would consider their best team contained both Hughes and Smith. Hughes was scheduled to play but rolled his ankle in the warm up so Bertus came in for him. So even if Smith had played, Bertus would have done too.

But they wanted Steve Smith, not Nick Bertus. Viv Richards wouldn't have helped.

Bertus came in for Daniel Hughes. So try again.

Well I for one am glad we got to watch Nick Bertus instead of Steve Smith.

The Scorchers were dominant in all departments tonight and are surely now hot favourites for BBL11. For the Sixers, a chance to regroup and head back to Sydney for Wednesday's second chance
