The Perth Scorchers will take on the Sydney Sixers in the final of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2021 at the SCG on Saturday.
The Sydney Sixers are just one win away from defending their crown in front of their home fans. They have been absolutely sensational in the BBL this season, with Josh Philippe leading the charge at the top of the order with 499 runs.
The likes of Daniel Hughes and Daniel Christian have also stepped up with sizeable contributions, which should hold the Scorchers in good stead in the BBL final. The experience of Sean Abbott and captain Moises Henriques could see the Scorchers emulate the Perth Scorchers' BBL trophy count with a win on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Scorchers have had to take a longer route to the BBL final although they eventually did it quite emphatically. They thumped Brisbane Heat by 49 runs, with Liam Livingstone smashing a quickfire fifty.
Their bowling attack has been their key, with Jhye Richardson leading the BBL wicket-taking charts with 27 wickets. Andrew Tye and Jason Behrendorff have also been in stellar form of late.
However, the Sixers thumped the Scorchers in both BBL fixtures this season. James Vince starred with an unbeaten 98 in the previous BBL game between the two teams; the Englishman's battle with Andrew Tye could be one to watch out for.
Nevertheless, with all eyes on the BBL 2021 trophy, a cracking game of T20 cricket beckons at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Pitch Report
Despite some help on offer for the pacers, a high-scoring BBL game is likely to be on the cards.
Although the pacers could have some swing early on, the ball should skid on nicely to the bat, much to the delight of the batsmen. The spinners might get some help as the match progresses though.
With this game being a knockout fixture, both teams could bat first after winning the toss. 170 should be par at this venue.
