Few predicted a Sydney Sixers vs Perth Scorchers BBL final. Brisbane Heat looked to be on a dream run to the decider having eliminated Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Thunder, but Brisbane fell apart in the Challenger round. 

Having put the Scorchers into bat first at the Manuka Oval, a panicked Heat allowed their opponents clock up 1-189 from 18.1 overs. As Shane Warne noted, the Scorchers looked 'cold and calculating'. 

The Scorchers will now face the Sixers at the SCG in a repeat of the Qualifier round, which saw the Sixers take Perth to the cleaners, winning by nine wickets to advance to the 2021 Big Bash final in style. 

Can the Scorchers even the score on their first trip to the BBL final since 2017, when they scored a nine-wicket win over the Sixers? They have the goods but the Sixers have a knack for pulling out thumping great wins when it counts – even without Mitchell Starc, who will provide off-field captaincy on Saturday.

Last year the Sydney Sixers beat the Melbourne Stars by 19 wickets to claim their second Big Bash League title. Can James Vince piloted the Sixers to another classy win? Here's how to watch the Aussie T20 league cricket for less, including a Sydney Sixers vs Perth Scorchers BBL final live stream.

Watch the Big Bash final anywhere in the world using a VPN

Even if you have subscribed to the relevant BBL rights holders, you won't be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. VPNs are a doddle to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.

There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.

Aussie cricket fans with a TV were treated to around 60 percent of this year's BBL matches on free-to-air network Channel 7.

Desperate to watch the BBL 10 final in 4K? You'll need a 4K TV, a AU$74-a-month Foxtel Plus subscription and an iQ4 set-top box.
