The Perth Scorchers are an Australian domestic Twenty20 franchise cricket team that plays in the Big Bash League and represents the Western Australian city of Perth (BBL).
The Scorchers are the reigning BBL champions, having defeated the Sydney Sixers in the 2021-22 season's final. They are also the most successful team in BBL history, having won four championships and finishing second three times. In BBL02, they were beaten by the Brisbane Heat in their second final. They subsequently won the following two championships in a row, becoming the first team in the league's short history to do so. These victories came in a last-ball drama at Canberra's Manuka Oval against the Hobart Hurricanes and the Sydney Sixers.
The Scorchers brought in a slew of foreign bats for BBL10, including Livingstone, Joe Clarke (cricketer), Colin Munro, and Jason Roy. For this tournament, Ashton Turner was selected as captain. The Scorchers started slowly, with three losses and a tie in their first four games. They snapped their losing streak on New Year's Eve, defeating the Adelaide Strikers, and went on to win eight of their next 10 games, finishing second in the table behind the Sydney Sixers.
