The 2022–23 Big Bash League Final will take place on Saturday night and feature a game between the Perth Scorchers and Brisbane Heat. The Scorchers defeated the Sydney Sixers in the Qualifier on January 28th, won the competition the previous year, and took first place in their group. Brisbane Heat defeated the Sixers in the Challenger game on Thursday at the SCG. At 19:30 local time, the game begins at Perth Stadium.
The Perth Scorchers were the best team in the BBL11, and they just need one more win to win back-to-back championships. They will be incredibly challenging to defeat in this game in front of their home crowd.
The Brisbane Heat have a sizable following now that their performance has changed since mid-January. However, facing the current champions in this decisive game might be too much for them.

Perth would see partly overcast skies on February 4 when the game would take place.
The team attempting to even the score has triumphed six times in the last seven games. The team that wins the toss should not hesitate to invite the opposition to bat first.

Perth Scorchers Team News & Probable Playing XIs
The lineup for the holders will change at least once before this final because 24-year-old speed bowler Lance Morris is currently away in India getting ready for the Test series. We predict David Payne, an England left-arm fast bowler, to re-join the team for this game given Jhye Richardson’s extended absence due to a hamstring injury.

Perth Scorchers’ Probable XI

Brisbane Heat Team News & Probable Playing XIs
Brisbane Heat’s batting lineup were significantly weaker in the Challenger without their Test trio of Marnus Labuschagne, Matt Renshaw, and Usman Khawaja, but their bowling lineup more than made up for it. The team is injury-free, so we will see the same starting lineup today.

Perth Scorchers is the favorite to win this match.
Sydney Sixers haven’t missed the BBL final in three seasons, but these two clubs unquestionably merit playing in this game. The fact that the Perth Scorchers will be playing in their third consecutive championship game may be crucial. Brisbane Heat never thought they would get this far, so they are playing with a lot of latitudes. Although we anticipate a close game, we anticipate Perth Scorchers to prevail and win BBL12.
