Preview:
Marvel Stadium is going to witness the ultimate clash of titans on Friday. Two-time defending champions Sydney Sixers will take on Perth Scorchers in the final of Big Bash League on 28th January, seeking to lift the title for the third time in a row. Although, Perth Scorchers have been bit by Covid-19 scare and few injuries, still they managed to defeat the Sixers in the qualifying final, handsomely by 48-runs.
Pitch report:
Although pitch has an edge for batters, bowlers will have to bowl at a good length to make their mark. But weather can be a spoiler in the game, as heavy rain is predicted for the day.
Team Analysis:
Perth Scorchers:
All eyes are on all-rounder Mitchell Marsh as his presence has been confirmed after a minor hamstring injury. Marsh has been one of the most successful players in the T20 format, while players like Colin Munro, skipper Ashton Turner and Laurie Evans are going to be vital in the high stake game.
Sydney Sixers:
Sixers beat Adelaide Strikers in their last game to qualify for the finals and will be looking to upset Scorchers to win their third consecutive BBL title. The team will play the game without openers Josh Philippe and Jack Edwards, who have tested positive for Covid-19. Steve Smith can make the cut in finals and if successful, his presence would be vital for Sixers' quest for a historic hat-trick of titles.
Probable XIs:
Perth Scorchers: Josh Inglis (wk), Kurtis Patterson, Mitchell Marsh, Colin Munro, Ashton Turner (capt), Laurie Evans, Ashton Agar, Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Peter Hatzoglou.
Sydney Sixers: Hayden Kerr, Justin Avendano, Jake Carder, Moises Henriques (capt), Daniel Hughes, Dan Christian, Sean Abbott, Ben Dwashuis, Jay Lenton (wk), Nathan Lyon, Steve O'Keefe.
