With COVID-restrictions being eased the postponed Regional Bash Finals Day has been rescheduled for this coming Monday (February 8).
But while the men's games will still go ahead at the state's premier cricket ground, the women will play at North Sydney Oval.

"It is disappointing. I think the girls would have liked to play at the SCG. It's not everyone that gets to play at the SCG," Knight said.
"[But] North Sydney is the home of female cricket at the moment, so it's nice to play there."
The side featuring local talents Claire McGuirk, Zoe Fleming and Sally Keeler face the Coffs Coast Chargers in the second of the two semi-finals at 2pm.
The winner will then play either the ACT Aces or Orana Outlaws in the final at 6pm.
Originally scheduled for Sunday January 17, the Bolters will be missing a number of key players for Monday's finals.
Lara Graham is tied up with work, while Jess Davidson is unavailable with injury, and Tara Craig has moved down to Canberra for uni.
They will be big losses.
Knight said there were a couple of players that weren't available for their pool clash that will come into the side for them.
"We did have a big squad of 15, we've just got to massage that around," he said.
The short notice (they only learnt late last week the games were being played next Monday) has meant they have had no time to have a hit together.
The plan will be to "have a bit of a run around" on Monday morning.
