A warm moment took place at the end of the final of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2025/26 final at the Optus Stadium post the contest between the Perth Scorchers and the Sydney Sixers, where the winning captain of the home side, Ashton Turner, received the championship medal from his third children as the video went viral around the social media platforms.  

Ashton Turner has changed the dynamics of the franchise since being appointed the leader of the side, when he replaced Adam Voges in the position, with the latter joining as the head coach of the group, when their former head coach, Justin Langer, made way for the national side’s coaching.

“This organization, this team, and the support we receive from the wider cricketing community - it’s enormous. We’re fortunate that 11 of us get to walk out onto the field, but we know success like this is driven by a much bigger group. There are too many people to name, but to the players who missed out, the support staff, coaching group, management, the executive, and board at WA Cricket.” Turner expressed at the end of the final.

Winning the toss, Turner had no hesitation in opting to bowl first on a surface that was not easy for batting as the cracks started to open up to create issues for the bowlers. The footmarks were evident as the Sixers kept losing wickets regularly throughout the 20-over match.
