Cricket Australia has also had to take ‘logistic considerations’ into consideration while making the schedule. Which was resulting in the T20I being moving out of Sydney.

All three T20 Internationals are scheduling in Adelaide before the teams travel to Canberra for the Test and the first ODI before traveling to Melbourne to conclude the series.

“Sadly, logistical considerations meant we had to move two T20 games away from the North Sydney Oval, which has long been the home of the women’s game in Sydney.
