Sydney Thunder Women are scheduled to face Brisbane Heat Women in Weber WBBL|12 Match 6 on Sunday, 1 November 2026. The fixture is listed for Drummoyne Oval in Sydney, with a confirmed start of 3:40pm Sydney time, 10:10am IST and 04:40 UTC. [1] [3] [4]

What is confirmed

Both team match pages identify the same upcoming fixture and the same venue. Sydney Thunder’s listing names the sides as Sydney Thunder Women and Brisbane Heat Women, while Brisbane Heat’s schedule places the game on 1 November at Drummoyne Oval, Sydney. [1] [2]

The competition context is equally clear. ESPN lists the game as the sixth match of the Women's Big Bash League 2026 at Sydney and describes it as a 20-over match. That makes this a scheduled T20 fixture, not a multi-day match or a result update. [4]

How the start time converts

The official Brisbane Heat announcement states that its fixture list uses Queensland times and gives this match a 2:40pm start. Queensland is on AEST, so the verified UTC equivalent is 04:40 on 1 November. Sydney is on AEDT on that date, making the local Sydney start 3:40pm. ESPN independently lists 12:40am EDT, which converts to the same 04:40 UTC start. [3] [4]

A schedule-led preview

At this stage, the reliable preview is the fixture itself: the two teams, the WBBL competition, the 20-over format, the Drummoyne Oval venue and the confirmed time. The cited schedule pages do not establish final playing XIs, toss details, captains, injuries, weather or a match result, so none of those claims are added here. Readers should treat the listing as a pre-match schedule and check the official match centre for any later changes.
