The Sydney Sixers have named a 15-player squad ahead of the biggest match of the summer, the KFC BBL|13 Final.
The Sixers are set to host Brisbane Heat tomorrow night at the SCG, with the club looking to make history, adding a fourth title to their collection, following championship wins in BBL|01, BBL|09 and BBL|10.
Finishing the regular season with six wins, two losses and two no results due to rain, the Sixers advanced through to the Qualifier Final at Carrara Stadium last Friday, defeating the Heat by 39-runs.
Ben Dwarshuis (5-21) starred with ball in hand, picking up the second five-wicket haul of his career, while captain Moises Henriques was the hero with the bat, notching 59 from 50 balls.
Wednesday’s Final is set to mark the last appearance of much-loved club stalwart, Steve O’Keefe with the spinner officially calling time on his Big Bash career at the conclusion of this season.
First ball of the KFC BBL|13 Final is scheduled for 7.15pm (AEDT) and will be broadcast live via Channel 7, Fox Cricket, Kayo and SEN.
The final allocation of tickets to the KFC BBL|13 Final have almost been exhausted with a sell-out expected to be confirmed tomorrow.
The BBL|13 Final is set to be the highest attended finals game at the SCG, with the BBL|10 Final crowd of 25,295 holding the record currently.
The match could also be the second SCG sellout for the KFC BBL|13 season, with 41,027 fans turning up to watch the Sydney Sixers take on the Sydney Thunder earlier this season.
