The Sydney Sixers are proud to announce that our Community Round & Cultural Festival will take place during the WBBL match against the Adelaide Strikers at North Sydney Oval on Sunday, 7 December 2025.
This year’s Community Round will shine a spotlight on grassroots and community cricket — celebrating the junior clubs, volunteers, families and dedicated supporters who form the heart of our game.
The afternoon will also mark the launch of the club’s expanded cultural engagement program, with a cultural festival designed to embrace and welcome fans from all cultural backgrounds, including Sydney’s vibrant South Asian community.
The event will play a key role in the club’s lead-up to welcoming Pakistani cricket legend Babar Azam to the Sydney Sixers for the BBL season.
The match-day experience will combine elite WBBL cricket with a vibrant festival atmosphere reflecting the diversity, passion and community spirit of the Sixers fanbase.
Sydney Sixers General Manager Rachael Haynes said community round is the perfect way to mark the last Sixers home game of the Weber WBBL | 11 season before finals.
“From grassroots to the elite level, our community is the foundation of who we are as cricketers.
“This round gives us a chance to honour the grassroots clubs and volunteers who give so much to the game, while also celebrating the rich cultural diversity that makes Sydney special.
“It’s also a great chance for our players to acknowledge and thank their own local cricket clubs and their pathway to the elite level.
“With Babar Azam joining the club this summer, it’s a perfect moment to embrace and engage with our South Asian fans and the wider multicultural Sixers’ community.”
