Match Details:

The Final of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21 will be played between Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers on 6^th February at Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney.

Preview:

The hosts and the defending champions Sydney Sixers will take on Perth Scorchers in the all-important final of the BBL 2021, at Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday. The Sixers finished as the table-toppers in the group stage, having won 9 of their 14 matches and then they straight away qualified for the finals after beating Perth Scorchers in the Qualifier, thanks to some quite exceptional batting from James Vince and Josh Philippe. They will want to repeat the similar performance of last year’s final and clinch the crown of BBL for the 3^rd time.

On the other hand, Perth Scorchers have won 3 BBL trophies, which is the most by any team in the history of BBL since its inception in 2011. After losing to Sydney Sixers very cheaply in the Qualifier, Perth Scorchers had a great game in the Challenger against Brisbane Heat, beating them quite convincingly by 49 runs (DLS Method). They have beaten Sydney Sixers only once in this tournament in 3 head-to-head matches and will look forward to making 2-2 by beating them in the final. Both the teams look amazing on the paper and we can expect a good final contest between the two teams.

SYS vs PSC Weather Report for Final:

Pitch Condition/Report:

Big scores are always on the cards here at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). It is a flat track and batsmen will enjoy batting on this wicket. Having said that, there is some help for the spinners due to some sort of slowness in the wicket. If rain gives a break whoever wins the toss should bowl first.
