Pakistan star batter Babar Azam has touched down in Sydney ahead of the Sydney Sixers’ opening BBL clash against the Perth Scorchers this Sunday, triggering massive excitement among fans worldwide.
After a gruelling 26-hour flight, Babar said he was eager to don the Magenta and take on the Scorchers on Perth’s famous fast wicket. His arrival has sparked unprecedented online buzz, with global supporters flooding social media to show their backing for the Sixers.
The Sixers have confirmed that the SCG will host a special fan zone called “Babaristan”, a dedicated seating area celebrating Babar, and the vibrancy of South Asian cricket culture. The section for the December 17 home match has already sold out, highlighting the superstar’s pulling power.
Sixers General Manager Rachael Haynes said the club is thrilled to welcome “one of the world’s greatest cricketers,” adding that Babaristan will offer a high-energy, inclusive atmosphere for die-hard fans and newcomers alike. She encouraged supporters to secure tickets for upcoming home fixtures before they run out.
From Lahore to Moore Park, the Sixers are ready to celebrate Babar Azam in Magenta as he prepares for a blockbuster BBL debut.
