About BBL - Sydney Smash: Sydney Sixers v Sydney Thunder

A Twenty20 derby played under lights, with two city rivals fighting for bragging rights rather than points that mean much to anyone else. The crowd skews younger and louder than a Test match, with plenty of families out for the evening given the early start and the format's quick finish. Expect fireworks, music between overs and a ground split down the middle by colour, orange against magenta. Friday night timing means the game doubles as the start of the weekend for plenty of fans.

Where to stay nearby

Sydney itself is the obvious base, just a few kilometres from the ground and with by far the widest choice of hotels, meaning you can walk or take a short taxi ride on the night rather than plan around transport. Blacktown sits much further out to the city's west and offers a smaller, more budget-friendly selection of hotels, though you'll need a train or drive into the city for the match. For a Friday night fixture, staying centrally in Sydney makes getting home afterwards considerably easier.

Sydney — about 3 km away

Sydney puts you within a few kilometres of the ground, so most visitors walk, cycle or catch a short bus or train ride depending on where they're staying; with the largest hotel selection by far, it suits anyone wanting to stay close and keep transport simple.

Blacktown — about 32 km away

Blacktown sits well out to the west, so plan on a train journey into the city and a connecting trip to the ground; it suits those on a budget or visiting when central options are booked out, with a smaller but workable range of hotels.
