Perth Stadium T20 records
The Perth Scorchers will play their first home game of BBL 2020-21 against the Melbourne Renegades on Sunday (January 3). The Perth Stadium will host five Big Bash League fixtures in the next ten days.
The Scorchers will feature in four of those matches. After the Renegades, the Perth-based BBL team will battle the Sydney Sixers, the Hobart Hurricanes, and Sydney Thunder on this ground. The Hurricanes will cross swords with Thunder at the Perth Stadium on January 7.
Last year, this stadium hosted all the home fixtures of the Scorchers. However, because of the Coronavirus pandemic, Cricket Australia has canceled the home and away format. While the teams will play a few home matches this year, some games will also occur at neutral venues.
So far, the Big Bash League has produced some exciting encounters. While the cricket experts have raised fingers at the umpiring standards of BBL 2020-21, the players have given their best on the field.
