While T20 and T10 formats dominate the spotlight, an even shorter format exists in cricket—T5, exemplified by the Hong Kong Sixes tournament. Launched in 1993, this unique competition has seen cricketing legends like MS Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar, Sanath Jayasuriya, and Shane Warne grace its field. The tournament will restart on November 1, with Robin Uthappa leading the Indian side.
The format is distinctive, with teams consisting of just six players and each match limited to five overs per side, ensuring fast-paced, action-packed games. The focus is on explosive batting, rapid bowling changes, and high-scoring encounters.
Hong Kong Sixes venue
This year’s tournament will take place at the Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground in Hong Kong from November 1 to November 3.
