The KFC Big Bash League has today provided a further update regarding the remaining matches scheduled to be played at Optus Stadium, Perth this season, including the Sixers’ clash on January 6.
The Scorchers’ home match against the defending champions will be relocated due to state border controls and how they apply to entry into Western Australia, which has made playing the matches at Optus Stadium not possible.
Both teams would have travelled through Victoria within 14 days prior to the matches and will be unable to enter Western Australia due to Victoria’s classification as an extreme risk jurisdiction.
A venue and start time for the January 6 match, originally scheduled to begin at 9:15pm AEDT, will be advised in due course.
The same two teams will square off again just three days later in the Sixers v Scorchers presented by the NSW Government match at C.ex Coffs International Stadium. Tickets to that match are available HERE.
The BBL and Clubs will continue to prioritise the health and safety of players, staff, match officials, fans and the wider community during the KFC BBL|11 season.
