It just had to be the case. Perth and Sydney will contest the Big Bash League final for the sixth time, just days after the Scorchers beat the Sixers by 48 runs in the qualifier. It was also a revenge of the rain-affected season opener, a five-wicket victory – again – for Perth.
They were actually doing solid work on Finn Allen, who leads the count by six and will almost certainly reach the top of the racing leaderboard on Sunday, before finally cracking Mitchell Starc.
Allen made just 19 from his first 17, but finished with 49 from 30. Although the Scorchers have five BBL titles to their name, Allen is looking to get his first. Starc v Allen is one of two exciting face-offs scheduled at Perth Stadium, following Smith’s dismissal by Mahli Beardman.
However, the advantage clearly goes to the Scorchers’ men. Not only are they playing at home, but they have had four full days off, as the Sixers play their fourth game of the week, the previous three having taken place in Brisbane, Perth and Sydney.
