Format and Rules
Each match features two teams of six players, each batting for six overs (36 balls). Every fielder, except the wicketkeeper, bowls one over, with one allowed a second. Batters retire not out at 50 runs but may return if the rest of the side is dismissed. When five wickets fall, the final batter continues with a runner until the innings concludes after the sixth wicket.
"Following a successful 2024 revival after a seven-year break, the event continues its legacy as one of cricket’s most innovative and thrilling spectacles."
Official Venue
The matches will be held exclusively at the Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground in Mong Kok, Hong Kong.
