On January 25, 2026, the Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers will square off in the KFC BBL|15 Grand Final at Optus Stadium in Perth. These two dominant clubs, who have won eight BBL titles between them, will square off in their sixth BBL final. Big Bash cricket has been characterised by this rivalry. The Perth Scorchers secured their place in the final by defeating the Sixers by 48 runs in the qualifier after finishing top in the regular season. The Sixers collapsed from 63/3 to 99 all out when young fast bowler Mahli Beardman (3/20) dismissed Steve Smith. On a seam-friendly pitch, Finn Allen's 49 off 30 balls underpinned the Scorchers' score of 147/9.
The Sydney Sixers made a spectacular comeback, defeating the Hobart Hurricanes by 57 runs in the Challenger at the SCG. With 65 off 43 balls, Steve Smith was outstanding once more, as the bowlers held the Hurricanes to 141 all out. After three cross-country trips in a single week, the Sixers are battle-hardened and will be eager to exact revenge for their qualifier loss.

Perth Stadium Pitch Report:
Optus Stadium is well known for its bounce and speed, which it inherited from the former WACA. The additional carry and bounce can be used by fast bowlers to take early wickets. However, the real surface permits unrestricted scoring once hitters are set, particularly with the additional speed available. At this location, teams that bat first enjoy a minor advantage. However, considering the recent low-scoring character of the surface, the captain who wins the toss might decide to bowl first.
Perth Stadium Weather Forecast:
In late January, Perth had great weather. There won't be any weather delays during the Final.
