The winner heads straight to the final while the loser then plays in Challenger. Let’s take a look at two teams ahead of their massive clash on Saturday
The two most successful sides of the Big Bash – Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers are set to lock horns in the Qualifier for the second successive season.
The two arch rivals will meet at Optus Stadium on Saturday, January 28th in the Big Bash 2022-23 qualifier
Perth Scorchers hold the advantage over Sydney Sixers in the Big Bash, winning 16 out of 26 matches compared to 10 by the Sixers.
Both the teams are in terrific form but the Scorchers have better resources in both batting and bowling departments, and they are playing at home.
Perth Scorchers finished at the top of the table with 22 points. The reigning champions have been dominant in the season, winning 11 out of 14 matches. The Scorchers defeated Melbourne Renegades by 10 runs in the final group fixture to book the Qualifier at home.
The Scorchers have a potent pace battery with the likes of Jason Behrendorff, Andrew Tye, Matt Kelly, David Payne and Lance Morris doing a great job.
They could be bolstered with Jhye Richardson if he proves his fitness.
Sydney Sixers secured second spot on in the group stage after winning 10 out of 14 matches while one ended in no result.
They’re coming off five straight wins but now face the nemesis Perth Scorchers, against whom they have faltered in recent times. The Sixers will be out for revenge.
They will have the services of ridiculously in-form Steve Smith for this match but he’ll need support from others.
