Big Bash League 2022-23, Final, Perth Scorchers vs Brisbane Heat: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details

The Perth Scorchers and Brisbane Heat are set to face off in the final of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 on Saturday, February 4. The match will take place at the Perth Stadium.

The Scorchers, led by Ashton Turner, have had a tremendous time in the tournament this season. They finished at the top of the table in the league stage with 22 points and a net run rate of +1.205. Most importantly, they are currently on a four-match winning streak and haven’t looked out of sorts at any stage.

After their dominant performance in the league stage, they defeated Moises Henriques’ Sydney Sixers by seven wickets in the Qualifier to book their berth in the final. Having already won the BBL four times, the Scorchers know the art of playing in big matches.

The Heat, on the other hand, have risen like a phoenix from the ashes in the championship. They once stared at an early elimination, having been placed at the bottom of the table. After somehow managing to advance to the playoffs, they won three matches in a row.

They, however, won’t be having the services of three of their stalwarts - Matthew Renshaw, Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne, who are all in India for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. But they do have an in-form Michael Neser, who has not only performed with the ball, but has played handy knocks with the bat as well.
