The Big Bash League tournament is heating up with the play-offs set and ready to kick-start with a bang.

The quirky play-off system consists of five matches with just five teams left in the competition.

Perth Scorchers topped the regular season table with 11 victories in 14 matches and have booked their place in the qualifier match against second seeds Sydney Sixers for a place in the final.

No.4 Sydney Thunder face No.5 Brisbane Heat in the eliminator for a shot at No.3 Melbourne Renegades in the knockout game. The winner of that match will eventually progress to a challenger match against the loser of the top two seeds, culminating in the final. Got all of that?

If not, fear not. We’re on hand to guide you through the final rounds with our full schedule below guiding you through the permutations and what’s at stake in each clash.
