BBL 2025/26 | Final: Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers | Preview and Predictions Perth Scorchers will take on Sydney Sixers in the final of the ongoing 2025/26 Big Bash League at the Optus Stadium on 25th January 2026. Two of the most successful franchises in BBL history will go head-to-head one last time this season with the winner guaranteed to take home the coveted BBL|15 title. The Scorchers can go three clear at the top with their sixth title this Sunday while the Sixers will be looking to add a fourth title to their cabinet. Here, we present our preview and predictions for the final between the Scorchers and the Sixers. BBL|15 Final: Scorchers vs Sixers | 13:45 IST, January 25, 2026 It all boils down to this. One last game to decide who lifts the 2025/26 BBL title, and it couldn't have been a better duo to tussle it out on Sunday. Two teams that already share eight BBL titles between them. Two teams that have already squared off against each other in five different BBL finals – making this their sixth showdown in the finale with the Scorchers leading the Sixers 3-2 in head-to-head record in finals. Thus, it’s poised to be a humdinger of a contest this weekend. Paired up against each other in the Qualifier after finishing the league stage inside the top two, top of the table Perth Scorchers hosted second place Sydney Sixers at this very ground. Having been asked to bat first, the Scorchers huffed and puffed to 147, however, it was more than enough as the Sixers were bundled out for just 99 inside 15 overs. As a result, the Scorchers will definitely walk into this final with a fair bit of confidence behind them. Looking at the Perth Scorchers, the five-time champions have been a machine since the turn of the year, with every department contributing to their cause. In the batting department, Finn Allen has been the standout performer, scoring 430 runs in 10 innings at a strike-rate of 186+. Both Aaron Hardie and Mitchell Marsh have crossed the 300-run mark while the rest of the batters have also chipped in when needed. Their bowling attack despite there being concerns regarding its potency have done a very good job, especially at home. Connolly has caught the eye with 15 wickets in nine innings while going at just 6.56 per over. Hardie and Mahli Beardman have combined for 22 scalps, sharing the load across matches. However, getting Jhye Richardson back for the last leg has been a huge boost, while both Joel Paris and David Payne have done an excellent job whenever asked to step in. As for their opponents, Sydney Sixers, after capitulating against the Scorchers in the Qualifier, they thoroughly outplayed defending champions Hobart Hurricanes in the Challenger. Steve Smith was once again the catalyst with the bat, anchoring the innings with 65 runs off 43 balls while the rest of the batters chipped in with aggressive cameo, taking them to 198. With the ball, Mitchell Starc and co chipped in with regular breakthroughs as the Hurricanes never really got going. However, it was Joel Davis who was adjudged the Player of the Match for his quick-fire 27 off 12 and dismissing both Nikhil Chaudhary and Matthew Wade in the 12th over. Thus, despite the loss in the Qualifier, the Sixers will feel confident that they can go toe-to-toe against the Scorchers at their den. In terms of weather forecast and pitch report, expect conditions to be cloudy with the possibility of rain interruptions across both innings. The average first-innings score at Optus Stadium is 165 runs. During this BBL season, though, the six games held at this ground produced totals of 113-5 (11 overs), 150-8, 153-8, 127, 130, and 147-9—proving the pitch doesn’t encourage run-fests. Thus anything around the 140-145 mark will make this a very interesting contest. Looking ahead to this fixture, both Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers enter this contest high on confidence and will fancy their chances of winning this final. The Scorchers are firing on all cylinders, the batters have found their form and the bowlers have been excellent at home. The Sixers, on the other hand, will believe if their batters can do a respectable job their bowlers have the firepower to win them this game. Thus, considering current form and head-to-head record between the two, we are backing the Perth Scorchers to be slight favourites in this contest. Fantasy XI: Finn Allen, Steven Smith (vc), Aaron Hardie (c), Jack Edwards, Cooper Connolly, Sean Abbott, Jhye Richardson, Mitchell Starc, David Payne, Ben Dwarshuis, Mahli Beardman Venue: Optus Stadium, Perth Winners Prediction: Perth Scorchers
