Match Preview
Perth Scorchers
Perth Scorchers have arguably the most destructive batting lineup this season. Their top order has been in sensational form, and the middle order is packed with experienced match-winners.
- Mitchell Marsh and Finn Allen have both scored centuries this season
- Strong all-round options in Aaron Hardie and Cooper Connolly
- Proven big-match captain in Ashton Turner
The Scorchers have already beaten the Sixers in Qualifier 1 and will be confident going into the final.
Key Players:

Sydney Sixers
Sydney Sixers have reached the final mainly due to their strong bowling unit. Mitchell Starc and Sean Abbott have delivered consistently in pressure games.
However, their batting heavily depends on Steven Smith. If Smith fails early, the Sixers often struggle to post or chase competitive totals.
- Starc and Abbott are big-match bowlers
- Steve Smith remains the backbone of the batting unit
- Bowling gives them a fighting chance in any match
Key Players:
Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc, Sean Abbott, Josh Philippe

Match Prediction – Who Will Win?
Perth Scorchers look more balanced and powerful as a unit. Their batting depth gives them a clear advantage, especially on a good batting surface like Perth Stadium.
Sydney Sixers depend heavily on Steven Smith with the bat. If he gets out early, the pressure shifts quickly onto an inconsistent middle order.
Although Sixers have world-class bowlers, the Scorchers already handled them well in Qualifier 1.
Predicted Winner: Perth Scorchers
