The 15th edition of the Big Bash League reaches its climax on 25 January, as the Perth Scorchers host the Sydney Sixers in the BBL 2025–26 Final. Following a dominant campaign where they topped the table, the Scorchers enter the decider as favourites at their home ground, Optus Stadium. The Sixers, however, arrive with momentum after a convincing victory in the Challenger, setting the stage for a high-stakes battle between the league's two most successful franchises. Sydney Sixers Thank Babar Azam For His Services in BBL As Pakistan Batter Joins National Team Ahead of PAK vs AUS T20Is and ICC T20 World Cup 2026.

Journey to the Final

The Perth Scorchers secured their direct path to the final with a comprehensive 48-run victory over the Sixers in Tuesday's Qualifier. Young speedster Mahli Beardman was the standout, taking 3-20 to dismantle the Sydney batting order. Perth’s ability to defend a modest total of 147 showcased the bowling depth that has made Optus Stadium a fortress this season.

The Sydney Sixers were forced to take the longer route, facing the Hobart Hurricanes in Friday's Challenger. Led by a resurgent Steve Smith, who struck a vital half-century, the Sixers posted a massive 198/8 before bowling out the Hurricanes for 141. Having lost both encounters against Perth this season, the Sixers will be desperate to flip the script on the biggest stage.
