Two sides in contrasting form meet in the Knockout match
This game's done and dusted but we have the details on how to watch the Big Bash final right here.
Perth Scorchers vs Adelaide Strikers at Optus Stadium in the Knockout match will decide who takes on Brisbane Heat in the Challenger on Monday. The winner of the Challenger then goes up against Sydney Sixers in the BBL13 Final on January 24.
Perth Scorchers won what could have been a crucial the bat flip and so are batting second. They need 156 to win after restricting the Strikers to 155-7. The Strikers total may be a little under par perhaps, but they will be glad to have got that far having been 95-6 after 13 overs. Follow our guide below for where to watch Big Bash League live streams from anywhere — and potentially for FREE.
The Scorchers looked on course for a place in the top two of the league, and hence in the Qualifier, but they lost two of their last three league games. Their final ball defeat to the Sixers in the last league game meant they slipped to third with the Sixers overtaking them into second.
The Strikers, in contrast, come into the match in prime form, having won their last four games. These wins have all been comfortable ones batting second – three of them came with at least 23 balls remaining. Adelaide will be keen to win the bat flip, as chasing teams have tended to fare well at Optus Stadium.
Another key determinant to the outcome could be if Scorchers can dismiss Strikers skipper Matt Short early. Short is by far and way the biggest run scorer in BBL 13. He has 509 runs and the next highest run scorer is Scorchers captain Aaron Hardie, with 328.
