The two most successful Big Bash League (BBL) teams, Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers, will take on each other in a blockbuster BBL 2020-21 final at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday, February 6.
While Perth Scorchers are the three-time champions of the tournament, defending champions Sydney Sixers have won the title twice.
Moises Henriques-led Sixers are aiming to replicate Perth Scorchers’ record of securing back-to-back titles, which they had won in 2013-14 and 2014-15 as part of their feat of three championships in four seasons. Watch Sydney Sixers vs Perth Scorchers on live streaming and on TV.
This will be the fourth encounter between the two sides in the final of the Big Bash League, with the Scorchers winning twice and losing once.
In the ongoing edition of the tournament, Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers have already faced each other three times with the Sixers winning two of the three encounters.
Interestingly, Sixers and Ashton Turner-led Scorchers have been the most dominant sides in BBL 10 and therefore it is fitting that the two sides will lock horns for Saturday’s box-office BBL 2020-21 final.
