Sydney Sixers vs Brisbane Heat live stream — watch Big Bash League Final 2024

Sydney Sixers vs Brisbane Heat at Sydney Cricket Ground in the BBL 13 Final is Heat’s chance to become only the third side to have multiple BBL titles, alongside the Perth Scorchers and the Sixers. 

Having inserted Heat, Sixers will need 167 to win. Heat made 166-8 with Josh Brown top-scoring with 53 off 38 balls before falling lbw to O’Keefe. It was O’Keefe’s only wicket so the left-armer finishes his career on 99 BBL wickets. Sean Abbott was the main wicket taker with 4-32. Follow our guide below for where to watch Big Bash League 13 Final live streams from anywhere — and potentially for FREE.

This is the Sixers' seventh final appearance. Only Perth Scorchers have played more. The Sixers will be at home and have won both their previous BBL Finals at the SCG. Brisbane Heat won BBL 02 and are in their third final.

This is the sides’ fourth scheduled meeting this season. The first group game was washed out; the second was won by Heat by 3 runs under the DLS method; and, as Heat topped the league, and Sixers came second, they met in the Qualifier, which Sixers won by 39 runs.

The SCG tends to favour spin and Sixers’ left arm-spinner Steve O’Keefe took 3-13 in his most recent game here. He is retiring after the final, after a 19-year career, and is two shy of 100 BBL wickets. But even more eyes will be on Heat’s Josh Brown after his sensational 140 off 57 balls in the last game, the equal-second fastest BBL hundred and the competition's third highest score.
