Sunday's fifth Big Bash final will see a new champion crowned, when the Melbourne Stars take on the Sydney Thunder at the MCG.
After both sides performed excellently in their semi-final victories, it's tough to pick a winner between two sides who have been perenial underachievers over the past four tournaments.
The Hussey brothers will captain the two sides, with 38-year-old Dave skippering the Stars, and elder brother Mike in charge of the Thunder in what is set to be his final game on Australian soil.
Having won just five matches in the first four years of the Big Bash, a win on Sunday would cap a truly remarkable turnaround for a Thunder franchise which has been the laughing stock in Australia for a couple of years.
Stars hoping to lift title after overcoming semi-final curse
The Melbourne Stars have finally reached their first Big Bash final after suffering defeat in their previous four semi-finals. That hoodoo came to an end on Friday, when they beat the Perth Scorchers by seven wickets.
Star overseas batsman Kevin Pietersen was in brilliant form, striking a match-winning 62 and will be key to winning Sunday's final. On the bowling front, spin pair Adam Zampa and Michael Beer will be a handful for the Thunder batsmen, with Daniel Worrall showing some fine form with the new ball over the past few matches.
The Stars are without four members of their squad who are currently with the Australian one-day squad. John Hastings, Scott Boland, Glenn Maxwell and James Faulkner are all unavailable after helping Australia to a 4-1 series victory over India.
Fringe players such as Evan Gulbis and Marcus Stoinis have stepped up for the Stars, and will need to be on the top of their game once more to claim victory on Sunday.
Kallis expected to return to Thunder XI for MCG final
After dispensing of the number one seed Adelaide Strikers with a stunning eight wicket victory in their semi-final, the Sydney Thunder head to the MCG full of confidence.
Usman Khawaja continued his sublime form in the competition with an unbeaten century in the semi-final win, and the Thunder will be hoping for more of the same against a Stars bowling lineup who will be doing everything they can to dismiss him early in the piece.
The left-handed opener carries forward a tournament average of 275 to Sunday's final, and will be looking for one more match-defining knock to help grab the Thunder their first title.
The Thunder have already equalled the amount of victories this season than they had picked up in the previous four competitions, and a sixth win on Sunday looks all the more possible with the potential return of overseas legend Jacques Kallis.
Kallis has missed the last few games with injury, but is expected to return for Sunday's showpiece final in place of Kiwi batsman Henry Nicholls who has done an excellent job filling in.
The bowling attack will be led by Clint McKay, who currently has the most wickets in this year's competition with 17 scalps from his nine matches. The team is also packed with all-rounders, including Andre Russell and Shane Watson who have both played starring roles so far.
Watson has earned a recall to the Australian T20 squad after showing great form with the bat, and he will be hoping to remind the selectors of his prowess with another top performance in the final.
Russell, or Dre Russ as he is wanting to be known, is up there with the most explosive batsmen in world cricket once he gets going. This tournament though, has seen him perform at his best with ball in hand. His 15 wickets have generally come at the start and end of the opposition's innings, and he has also shown his athleticism in the field with some stunning catches and run saves.
Repeat of an early classic
When these two sides met in the round robin stage, the Thunder came out winners by one run in one of the games of the tournament.
Khawaja scored the first of his centuries in that match, notching 109 of the Thunder's 178 runs, with the Stars falling one run short in their pursuit of the Thunder total despite 76 from Pietersen and an unbeaten 45 from Faulkner.
