Perth Scorchers take on Adelaide Strikers in match 34 of the WBBL; the eighth edition of the tournament.
The game is scheduled to start at 1.50pm local time (5.50am BST) on Sunday, November 6.
The Lilac Hill Park in Perth is set to stage this match.
These are the form sides in the WBBL. Strikers have won five of the last six, only losing to Melbourne Stars in that run.
Scorchers have won their last two but on their most recent outing produced a statement win over Sydney Sixers, crushing the table-toppers by nine wickets.
In the reverse fixture earlier in the competition, Scorchers ran out winners by six wickets after chasing down 112 to win with nine balls remaining.

The match brings together the second and fifth-highest-scoring batters in the competition.
Beth Mooney is on the verge of becoming the first player to reach 4,000 WBBL runs after her unbeaten 99 against Sydney Sixers.
Madeline Penna, 22, has been a revelation in the Strikers' middle order, scoring 224 runs at an average of 74.66.
She scooped her second WBBL player of the match award in the victory over Melbourne Stars, scoring an unbeaten half-century to help down 113.
Conditions are likely to be warm and pleasant for the start of play and the duration of the match, with temperatures at around 24 degrees Celsius.
Scorchers have an unchanged squad from the victory over Sydney Sixers.
Ella Wilson has been added to the Strikers squad while Tahlia McGrath has been replaced as captain by Megan Schutt, who is injured.

Scorchers naturally begin as favourites, at 4/7, while Strikers are rated at 5/4 by the bookies.
Scorchers look like they are running hot at the right time and while they may be pushed hard by Strikers, they should have too much.
