Perth Scorchers Team: Squad, Results, Stats & Schedule

Perth Scorchers are WA Cricket's men's Twenty20 franchise and an inaugural member of the Big Bash League. Their orange home identity is based in Perth, with Optus Stadium known to supporters as the Furnace.

The Scorchers have won a competition-record six BBL titles: BBL|03, BBL|04, BBL|06, BBL|11, BBL|12 and BBL|15. They were also runners-up in BBL|01, BBL|02 and BBL|10, giving the club nine final appearances across the first 15 seasons.

Adam Voges' BBL|15 side finished first in the league at 7–3, 14 points and NRR +1.363. Perth then dismissed Sydney Sixers for 99 in a 48-run Qualifier win and for 132 in the Final before completing a six-wicket chase, closing the full campaign 9–3.

Finn Allen led the batting with 466 runs. Cooper Connolly took a team-high 15 wickets, while Aaron Hardie supplied the strongest two-skill season with 339 runs and 12 wickets. David Payne's 3/18 earned Player of the Final.

Perth also entered an invited Perth Scorchers XI in the 2026 Global Super League under stand-in coach Simon Katich. That available-player group went 1–3 in Guyana, beating Guyana Amazon Warriors by 14 runs after three narrow losses; its squad and record remain separate from the BBL|16 contract tracker.

Nine players were under contract in cricket.com.au's 26 July 2026 tracker. The 21 names attached to BBL|15 describe the completed title-season timeline, including overseas and local replacement players; they are not an automatic roll-over into BBL|16.

The league had also imposed a contracting embargo after its player-movement window. Finn Allen, Josh Inglis, David Payne and other BBL|15 contributors were listed as uncontracted at that cutoff, so the accurate current page is a dated partial tracker, not a predicted final squad.

They prove Perth hold the men's Big Bash League record. The Scorchers won six of the competition's first 15 editions and reached nine BBL finals, both clear league-specific achievements.

A single worldwide ranking depends on the metric: leagues have different ages, season counts, formats and entry rules. Promotional comparisons can count trophies, but this page keeps the defensible claim to 'record six-time BBL champions' rather than turning it into a universal sporting verdict.

No. Melbourne Renegades are the designated home side for the 12 December 2026 opener at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium. It is the first BBL match scheduled outside Australia, but it counts as an away fixture for Perth.

Perth still have five regular-season home matches at Optus Stadium. The distinction matters because an overseas venue does not by itself reveal which club surrendered a home allocation.

Brisbane Heat reached 258/2 with one ball remaining at the Gabba, completing the highest successful chase in BBL history. Matt Renshaw made 102 and Jack Wildermuth 110 not out in a record 212-run partnership.

Perth's 257/6 was their franchise-record total and the third-highest BBL innings at the time, yet it became the highest losing score. The match is a useful exception to the usual scoreboard shortcut: a huge first innings can still be below par when conditions and a record partnership change the chase.

The Qualifier was a defence: Perth made 147/9, then Mahli Beardman's 3/20 led a dismissal of Sydney for 99. The Final reversed the innings order: David Payne's 3/18 helped bowl the Sixers out for 132 before Perth chased 133 in 17.3 overs.

Across those two matches, the Sixers lost all 20 wickets for 231 runs. Perth did not need the same batting script twice; one win came from defending a modest total and the other from controlling a chase after another complete bowling performance.
