Show Preview

The two most successful teams in Big Bash League history, the Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers, clash tonight in the BBL10 final at the SCG. Join The Roar for live scores from 7:40pm (AEDT).

It’s fitting that the Scorchers and Sixers will meet in tonight’s decider, as the two have been the best sides of the competition throughout the season.

The Sixers have been the more consistent, showing last year’s championship was no fluke. In fact, tonight will be the team’s first match at the SCG since they defeated the Stars in the corresponding fixture last year.

There’s hitting power right throughout their batting line-up, from player of the tournament Josh Philippe, to captain Moises Henriques, middle-order rock Jordan Silk, and explosive all-rounder Dan Christian.

There’s ample quality with the ball, too, through Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshuis, Carlos Brathwaite and Christian. The real danger man, though, could be veteran Steve O’Keefe. The wily off-spinner has been at his miserly best this tournament despite retiring from first-class cricket, mixing up his pace expertly to stifle opposition line-ups.

Perth have the hitting power to nullify Sydney’s attack. Liam Livingstone’s return to form in their win on Thursday is a welcome tonic for the Scorchers, and if Jason Roy is fit to play it gives them arguably the most dangerous opening partnership in the competition.

With Colin Munro, Josh Inglis, Mitchell Marsh and skipper Ashton Turner in the middle order, there’s big hitting right through the Scorchers’ line-up, and their bowling attack of Jhye Richardson, Jason Behrendorff, AJ Tye and Fawad Ahmed may be the best in the comp.

Sydney will enter tonight’s final confident after beating Perth in the Qualifier to book direct passage into the final. However, the Scorchers were in intimidating form against Brisbane to book their place in the decider.

That leaves picking a winner almost impossible, but it does mean the Big Bash League final should be one for the ages.
