Tournament Overview
Series Overview
The 2021-22 Big Bash League saw Perth Scorchers reclaim the title they had last won in 2016-17, defeating Sydney Sixers by 79 runs in a dominant final at Marvel Stadium, Melbourne. The margin of victory told the story of the tournament: the Scorchers were simply the best team, with a bowling attack that combined world-class international and domestic talent. Jhye Richardson and Ashton Agar were the standout performers with the ball, while the batting provided consistent totals throughout. Sydney Sixers — three-time champions and always formidable — could not match Perth's firepower on the night. The Scorchers' fourth title placed them level with the Sixers in terms of BBL championship count, and they would go one better the following season to stand alone.
