BBL Challenger 2021: Scorchers vs Heat preview 

Considering how poorly their campaigns started, the Perth Scorchers and Brisbane Heat were the last picks in anyone's predictions when it came to who might be playing for a place the finale. But with some extraordinary performances from players, both young and old, the sides have given themselves a chance to win the BBL 2021 title. The two league stage matches between the teams were split 1-1 among them, making today's battle an even more interesting one.

The Scorchers finished second in the table, going straight into the qualifier against the Sydney Sixers. They were soundly beaten by the Sixers, who chased their 167-run total with three whole overs remaining. A win in this game could help the Perth men go into the final and exact their revenge on the Sixers, while also earning themselves a record 4th BBL title.

Brisbane Heat, meanwhile, have had an arduous journey to get here. After just managing to finish inside the top 4, Heat have had to get throught an Eliminator against the Adelaide Strikers and a knockout against Sydney Thunder. They will be hoping to win their first BBL title since the 2012-13 season and stop the Sydney Sixers' quest for a second consecutive title.
