The Sydney Sixers have confirmed the iconic North Sydney Oval will host four Weber WBBL|12 home matches this November.
The Sixers' marquee Summer Session will return to transform the Sydney Smash into a vibrant food and beverage festival from 1:40pm on Sunday, November 8.
The Summer Session attracted a historic 5,023 fans last year, setting a new WBBL regular-season attendance record.
Fans can again expect local food and drink offerings, live entertainment and a lively Sunday afternoon double-header on the Hill.
The Summer Session is delivered in collaboration with Good Time Sports Co., a Sydney-based events company that creates unique sports and lifestyle experiences.
Founded by passionate sports fan Matt Rule, the business grew from the success of the popular Beer Footy & Food Festival, which launched in 2016 and has attracted thousands of attendees across NSW.
The second flagship match on the Sixers' calendar is the much-loved Community Round against the Melbourne Renegades on Sunday, November 15 from 11am.
Community Round is a tribute to our local community and the cricket clubs and players who make our game what it is.
From exclusive meet-and-greet & match-day opportunities, club invitations and ticket offers for junior and community cricketers, Community Round connects the grassroot to the elite.
Last year, the match was one to remember and is once again a date to circle on the calendar in Weber WBBL|12.
Head to North Sydney Oval to cheer on the Sixers, then keep the day going by dropping into a pub in the area to catch the second ODI of the men's international series against England, live from Adelaide Oval.
The Sixers will then host the Perth Scorchers on Saturday, November 21, with a 3:30pm start set to deliver the perfect golden-hour afternoon at North Sydney Oval.
The home season will conclude on Thursday, November 26, when the Sixers face the Melbourne Stars in prime time from 7:10pm.

Good Times Sports Co’s founder Matt Rule said he was excited to see Summer Session go to another level this year.
“The WBBL double-header was awesome last year and we can’t wait to see what this Summer can deliver!” Rule said.
