Perth Scorchers capped off a remarkable Big Bash League 2025-26 campaign by defeating Sydney Sixers by six wickets in the final at Perth Stadium, clinching their record sixth BBL title in front of a packed home crowd.

After winning the toss and opting to bowl, the Scorchers’ decision paid rich dividends as their bowlers delivered a disciplined and relentless performance to restrict the Sixers to a below-par total.

Perth Scorchers bowlers choke Sydney Sixers after brisk start

Sydney Sixers showed early intent with Steve Smith providing brief momentum at the top, striking 24 off just 13 balls. However, regular wickets prevented the visitors from building any meaningful partnerships. Daniel Hughes departed cheaply, while Josh Philippe and Moises Henriques struggled to accelerate despite spending time at the crease.

The middle overs proved decisive as Perth’s bowlers tightened the screws. David Payne was outstanding, picking up three wickets for just 18 runs, while Jhye Richardson matched him with three crucial scalps despite conceding some boundaries. Youngster Mahli Beardman impressed on the big stage with two wickets, ensuring the Sixers never truly recovered.

Despite small contributions from Joel Davies (19 off 14) and Lachlan Shaw (14 off 12), the Sixers were bowled out for 132 in exactly 20 overs — a total that always looked light on a good batting surface.

Calm chase led by Mitchell Marsh and Finn Allen

Chasing 133 for the title, Perth Scorchers approached the target with composure rather than urgency. Finn Allen provided early impetus, smashing 36 off 22 balls to keep the required rate in check. At the other end, Mitchell Marsh anchored the innings with a mature knock of 44 off 43 deliveries, blending caution with timely aggression.

Although Aaron Hardie fell early, Josh Inglis ensured there were no late hiccups. His fluent 29 off 26 balls kept Perth firmly in control, even as the Sixers attempted to claw back with wickets through Sean Abbott and Mitchell Starc. The chase was completed in 17.3 overs, sealing a comfortable six-wicket win and sparking celebrations across Perth Stadium.
