Sydney Thunder will be playing their first BBL final since 2016 when they'd beaten the Stars from Melbourne for their only trophy. On the other hand, Hurricanes, who last reached the final in 2018, will be looking at lifting the cup for the first-time ever. Two relatively less fancied teams at the start of the tournament, but they've been superb right through and are the deserving finalists. Will it be the Canes or will Thunder steal the spotlight on the 27th. We'll be back with ball-by-ball coverage of the big day. For now, cheers and bye..

Sam Billings | Player of the Match: I don't think we played our perfect game, hopefully we are saving that for Monday. Good team performance, the bowlers were brilliant and that set us the tone. Just get across the line, we've done that all season, we are just finding a way. The great thing about this tournament is we've played two finals in a couple of days in very different conditions. In the finals, sometimes, the younger lads are the ones that just fly out there. We have the quality to get the job done. (On Warner) When doesn't he have that attitude? His attitude is infectious, the way the approaches the game. To play alongside him, you learn everyday. You see why he's one of the best to play this format. He's played brilliantly. We have another game without him getting a solid contribution. All to play for, we know we are playing arguably the best team.

22:32 Local Time, 11:32 GMT, 17:02 IST: 151 was never going to be enough on this pitch, but credit to the Sixers for staying in the game right till the end. Plenty of starts for Thunder and that was probably the defining moment in the chase. Warner, Jason Sangha and Matthew Gilkes, all got into double digits and played their role in ensuring that they were ahead of the asking rate. That allowed Sam Billings, their English import, to hold one end up and he ensured that they didn't panic, not when they were reduced to 100 for 4 and then to 131 for 6. CVhris Green and Nathan McAndrew played vital cameos and with Billings making a 29-ball 42*, it ensured that Thunder were home and dry with time to spare. They'll now face a confident Hurricanes in their own den, but they do have a couple of days to get ready for the big match.
