Perth Scorchers Win Sixth BBL Title After Trouncing Sydney Sixers

On Jan 25, Perth Scorchers won their sixth Big Bash League title by beating Sydney Sixers by six wickets at Optus Stadium, before a record 55,018 crowd.
After losing the toss, the Sydney Sixers were sent in and managed an underwhelming 132 in 20 overs, with Steve Smith, Josh Philippe and Moises Henriques all dismissed for 24 in a messy innings.
David Payne's 3-18 supported Jhye Richardson's three wickets as Mitchell Marsh top-scored with 44, sealing the win.
Perth completed a season sweep of Sydney, beating them in the opener, the qualifier last week and the final, while Ashton Turner said the win felt like a weight lifted off the group.
Finn Allen finished the tournament with 466 runs, overtaking David Warner's 433, while the Sydney Sixers were denied a fourth BBL title.
