The Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers are set to face each other in the Qualifier of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 on Saturday (January 28). The match will take place at the Perth Stadium.

The Scorchers, led by Ashton Turner, have by far been the standout team of the tournament. The Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Sixers got to the top spot momentarily, but the Scorchers finished as the deserving table-toppers in the league stage with 22 points and a net run rate of +1.205.

The Scorchers are currently on a three-match winning streak and will go into the match after beating Aaron Finch’s Melbourne Renegades by 10 runs on January 22 at home. Cameron Bancroft became the Player of the Match after he scored an unbeaten 95 with five fours and six sixes.

The Sixers, led by Moises Henriques, started the tournament with two losses. But once they tasted their maiden win, there was no stopping them. They are currently on a six-match winning streak, but despite that, they failed to finish at the top of the points table.

They will go into the game after beating Matthew Wade’s Hobart Hurricanes by 24 runs at the Bellerive Oval. Steve Smith, who has already hit 24 sixes in four matches, became the Player of the Match after he followed up his twin tons with a 33-ball knock of 66.
