Perth Scorchers take on Brisbane Heat in the 2022-23 Big Bash League Final on Saturday evening. The Scorchers won the tournament last year, finished top of the group stage, and beat Sydney Sixers in the Qualifier on January 28th. Brisbane Heat defeated the Sixers in Thursday’s Challenger at the SCG. Perth Scorchers were the best team in BBL11 and need one more victory to make it back-to-back titles. In front of their home fans, they will be very hard to beat in this match. Brisbane Heat has won many admirers with their switch in form from mid-January onwards. However, this final match may prove too much for them against the current holders.

Quick bowlers have had the most joy on this pitch during BBL12. There is pace in the wicket but it is not always that easy for batting on. A par score will be around 165 – 170. The forecast is for a fine and clear evening in Perth after a very warm day.

Brisbane Heat should not be discounted ahead of this game due to their recent run of form. However, player for player, and looking at performances over the entire tournament, Perth Scorchers are the top team. This is the first time in three seasons that Sydney Sixers have not made the BBL final but these two teams certainly deserve to be contesting this match. This will be the third year in a row that Perth Scorchers are in the final and that experience could prove critical. Considering the team combination, Perth Scorchers is expected to win this match.
