After a hard-fought 48 days of cricket, the two best teams of the tournament will be up against each other for the one last time to try their best and try their luck to secure the coveted trophy and would want to etch their names in BBL history as winners of the 13th edition of the tournament. Let's have a sneak peek at the journey of both teams:

Sydney Sixers

The Sydney Sixers' journey in BBL 13 has been a perfect example of peaking at the right time. They have defied expectations to claw their way to the Big Bash League (BBL) final. Despite a solid, but not spectacular, group stage performance with six wins out of ten, they've found their groove at the right time. 

In a thrilling qualifier match against the Brisbane Heat, the top team of the season, the Sixers showed their teeth and booked a spot in the finals on their home turf. Batting first, the Sixers put up a respectable 152 runs with some smart contributions from the middle order. Then, their bowling attack turned into a fiery dragon, breathing down the Heat's neck. They restricted the mighty Heat to a mere 113 runs, securing a crucial 39-run victory.

Brisbane Heat

Brisbane displayed exceptional gameplay right from the start of the tournament, securing victories in five of their initial eight matches and solidifying their position at the top of the points table. In the Qualifier, they suffered their third consecutive defeat as the Sixers outplayed them. However, the team swiftly regained their form in the Challenger. 

Putting forth a stellar performance, they posted a formidable total of 214 while batting first, thanks to an outstanding innings by Josh Brown. In the chase, the Strikers faltered, managing only 160 and losing the game by 54 runs. With this victory, the Heat secured their place in the final for the second consecutive time.
