After their much-publicised trip to India for the season opener, Perth will host three consecutive games at Optus Stadium in December to give themselves the opportunity to bank early home wins.<\/p>\n

As revealed by The West Australian, the Scorchers will host the Melbourne Stars in their annual Boxing Day home clash on the night of December 26. They face Hobart and the Sydney Thunder on either side of that fixture before heading to the eastern seaboard for the first time with a January 2 fixture in NSW.<\/p>\n

Scorchers general manager Kade Harvey said his team was thrilled to get a block of home games early in the campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a great result for our players and staff to have the opportunity to take part in the history-making clash in Chennai,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEqually as exciting is being able to spend the Christmas and New Year period at home with three consecutive home games.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were pleased to win four out of our five away matches in BBL15 and we are excited to try and replicate that again this season against quality opposition.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s set to be a history-making season for the club and we\u2019re really excited to bring our members and fans along for the ride.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perth won\u2019t get a chance to host the Sydney Sixers in a rematch of last summer\u2019s final, with the sole fixture between the two clubs at the SCG on January 10.<\/p>\n
