The KFC BBL|13 Finals schedule has been confirmed, with the Brisbane Heat and Sydney Sixers to get the finals series underway on Friday night on the Gold Coast in front of an expected sell-out crowd at Carrara Stadium.
The Sixers secured their spot in The Qualifier with a three-wicket win against Perth Scorchers in Perth tonight, while also securing a second chance alongside the Heat.
The winner of The Qualifier will host The Final next Wednesday, meaning either the Gold Coast or Sydney will host the biggest game of the season, while the loser will have a second chance in The Challenger on Monday.
Following Friday night’s encounter, the Scorchers will host Adelaide Strikers at Optus Stadium on Saturday in The Knockout, with the winner to advance to The Challenger on Monday.
