Preview:

The Big Bash League has a very unique system of playoffs, which might be harsh on some teams, but it certainly rewards the teams who have played impressive cricket all throughout the competition. Here, the fourth and fifth-placed teams have to win 3 games to make it to the final.

On the other hand, the teams who have finished in the top 2 places get a direct entry in the final if they win the qualifier. In this year’s qualifier, it will be the Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers who will lock horns. The former finished first in the group stage, while the latter finished second. The team who will lose this game will get another chance to redeem themselves in the Challenger.
