Women's Big Bash League 6 knockouts to be played under lights

MELBOURNE: The Women's Big Bash League finals series will be played in evening prime time at North Sydney Oval, marking the first time in history of the tournament that both semi-finals and the final will be played under lights, Cricket Australia announced on Wednesday.

The matches, to be held on November 25, 26 and 28, will begin at 7:10pm Australia time.

The move to an evening prime time finals series will take the WBBL to more Australian viewers than ever before in just the tournament's second season in a standalone format, CA hopes.

"The move to a full prime time finals series is another major leap in the evolution of the rebel WBBL," said Alistair Dobson, Cricket Australia's Head of Big Bash Leagues.

"This announcement is a testament to the outstanding work of our clubs and the League who have delivered a safe and successful tournament thus far. We thank the NSW Government for recognising this and rewarding our loyal fans in Sydney," he added. (IANS)
