England face Australia in Match 9 of Group A at the 2026 Hong Kong Sixes on Friday, 30 October. The published schedule gives a 16:05 start in Hong Kong, which is 08:05 UTC and 13:35 IST. The fixture remains a scheduled future match in the supplied match window.
The confirmed fixture
The official Hong Kong Sixes fixture list places England versus Australia in the Group A section as Match 9 on the opening day. Cricbuzz independently lists the same pairing in Group A and gives the start as 08:05 GMT, or 4:05 p.m. local time. The two records align on the teams, competition, date, group phase and scheduled start.
- Competition: Hong Kong Sixes
- Date: Friday, 30 October 2026
- Phase: Group A, Match 9
- Scheduled start: 16:05 HKT / 08:05 UTC / 13:35 IST
The final Group A slot on Friday
The official day-one order lists Australia against Hong Kong, China at 08:45 HKT, followed by Hong Kong, China against England at 12:25 HKT. England versus Australia is then scheduled for 16:05 HKT, the last Group A slot shown on Friday’s programme. That sequence gives the match a clear place in the opening-day schedule without requiring any unconfirmed claims about line-ups, captains or conditions.
Hong Kong Sixes tournament context
The official competition page describes a three-day event running from 30 October to 1 November, with 12 teams and 25 matches. It also says every team continues after the group stage toward a final position from first to 12th. England versus Australia is therefore a group-stage fixture within a wider three-day programme, not a completed result report.
