Big Bash dominates the night, securing the win for Channel Ten

Last night’s start of the T20 Big Bash cricket handed Channel Ten a ratings win, with the first session attracting more viewers than last year’s Sydney clash.

The Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder’s first innings captured 834,000 viewers at 7:30pm, ahead of last year’s audience of 797,000 in the same slot.

However, the second session of the night managed 761,000 viewers, which was down from last year’s 813,000 viewers.
