Having won all their home matches this season, Sydney will still have to better their game to make it fourth in a row. With this stadium preparing for its BBL debut, home advantage per se is highly likely to be neutralized as both the teams will be playing on a completely new ground. A regular Women’s BBL venue, North Sydney Oval will be hosting a men’s T20 after as many as 16 years.
