The Sydney Sixers had a very little chance to put smile on their face during the final of the Big Bash League 2025/26 against the Perth Scorchers at the Optus Stadium after their poor performance with the bat as they got bundled out for 132 runs in their allotted 20 overs which was never going to be enough.

However, Jack Edwards grabbed a fine catch to be one of the contenders for the catch of the tournament. It was the second delivery of the ninth over Finn Allen smashed the full and outside of delivery from Mitchell’s Starc, over the covers but he did not get it down the ground as Edwards was standing at that exact region.

The ball flew towards the extra cover region as the field dived to his right and it stick to his hand. Jack was aerial when he grabbed the catch and made sure that by the time he smashed his body on the floor, he would have the ball tight on his hand which will would not slip it off his fingers.

Winning the toss, the home captain, Ashton Turner, decided to bowl first on his surface, which wasn’t easy for batting with a few rough patches as he also kept early rain in mind. The Sixers did not get a great start with the bat and kept on losing wickets at regular interval for the entire innings.

They were bundled out for 132 in their allotted twenty overs as three of their batters got dismissed for 24 runs individually, but none of them were able to take it deep. David Payne picked up three wickets in his 4-over spell along with Jhye Richardson, while Mahali Beardman claimed two wickets for 29 runs.

And they could have thought of defending the total, but Michell Marsh gave them a horrible start with a six on the very first ball of the chase. Allen was dismissed for 36 runs in just 22 deliveries thanks to his four boundaries and one sixth as they put up an opening partnership of 80 runs in 8.2 overs to kill the entire chase.
