SYS vs PTS Game Plan Prediction: It’s time for the Big Bash League 2020-21 final! After 60 exciting thrillers, it has all come down to the one last game to decide who will lift the coveted title. Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers will face each other for the one last time tomorrow at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground in the 10th edition of the Big Bash League. Both the teams finished the league stage as the top two teams and are now just one step away from lifting the trophy.
The defending champions Sydney Sixers started their campaign with a defeat against the Hobart Hurricanes but since then have only looked forward and are now in the finals. They will be leaving no stone unturned to bag the title for the second time in a row and third in the history of the league.
Perth Scorchers would be eyeing their fourth title win when they square off against Sixers. It was the Sixers who defeated them in the Qualifier to make a direct entry to the finals. So, a fantastic finale is on cards between the two most successful sides in BBL history.
Previous meeting: Sydney Sixers (168/1) thumped Perth Scorchers (167/6) by 9 wickets in the Qualifier to secure a place in the finals.
