After 43 games, this year’s 2023/24 Big Bash League will conclude with an eagerly anticipated final between the Sydney Sixers and the Brisbane Heat on Wednesday evening. The Sixers have won the tournament three times before, and the Brisbane Heat are looking for their second title. Sydney Sixers won the BBL title in both 2020 and 2021, and many of their winning players are still on the roster for this match. They are in excellent form going into this game, and they have the added advantage of playing at home. After losing their final group stage match, followed by the Qualifier against the Sydney Sixers, the Brisbane Heat knew they had to do something special to defeat an in-form Adelaide Strikers on Monday. Josh Brown stepped up, and the Brisbane Heat will be looking for more of the same in this matchup.

Once again, this has been an excellent BBL edition, and the shorter length of the group stage has increased the urgency earlier in the tournament. Both of these teams will go into the final believing they can win the trophy, and if Josh Brown gets going again, it will make the task even more difficult for the Brisbane Heat. They also have strong bowlers, with Spencer Johnson and Xavier Bartlett in excellent form. Considering the team combination, Sydney Sixers is expected to win this match.
