The BBL Final is a journey of two contrasting teams. The Perth Scorchers have easily been the best yet again as they marched through to the Finals without too many blips. Brisbane Heat though were at the bottom of the table mid-way, but now with seven wins in eight games they are in their first Final in 10 years. They surpassed all odds to come through the hard way, and will have to surpass a lot more odds if they are to beat the Scorchers in the Finals.
The Scorchers depth has been very good this season. They’ve had some young talent come in and step up. Brisbane though cannot feel the same way about their side. Without the national players, they struggled early on, and even against Sydney Sixers, until Michael Neser pulled of a blinder. With a sell-out crowd ahead, the heat is on for the Finals.
Date: February 4th 2023

The Weather at Perth is pretty good for the upcoming game.

Played- 20 | Brisbane Heat -7 | Perth Scorchers- 13 | No Result- 0 | Tie- 0
Sam Heazlett, Josh Brown, Nathan McSweeney, Sam Hain, Jimmy Peirson (capt, wk), Max Bryant, Michael Neser, James Bazley, Xavier Bartlett, Spencer Johnson, Matt Kuhnemann
Cameron Bancroft, Stephan Eskinazi, Aaron Hardie, Josh Inglis, Ashton Turner, Nick Hobson, Ashton Agar, Matthew Kelly, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Lance Morris
Despite not standing out in the wickets column, Spencer Johnson has been a break-out star this season. He has the pace, and with early wickets really important when facing a big team in the Finals, Spencer Johnson has a huge opportunity to make an impact on the game.
With Trent Boult out, Jason Behrendorff stepped up nicely as the left-arm pacer up front. He is getting the ball to move well and his form has helped Perth Scorchers fall in place after a relatively slow start in their tournament.

Brisbane Heat came in with a lot of heart while Perth Scorchers have looked flawless so far. While the Scorchers are clear favorites, Brisbane Heat has done enough to prove that they can surprise, and that could give them a chance here in the Finals.
