Four games to go and four teams left standing. We caught up with AAP sports journalist Scott Bailey to chat about the BBL finals and the players in focus as the competition heads towards its conclusion.

From player availability to the venues & conditions, we run through how the finals could play out for the Heat, Sixers, Scorchers, and Strikers.

There's discussion about the churn in personnel at Brisbane, the all-round threat of Perth's bowling attack, the replacement for James Vince at the Sixers, and a return to form for Jake Weatherald as Adelaide enter the finals.

There's also time to chat about the packed T20 calendar, the future of the BBL and Cricket Australia's role and the league's coexistence with Test cricket.
