The 6IXTY: The Power Game Of Cricket

There is a new format coming to the Caribbean in 2022 with Cricket West Indies and the Caribbean Premier League bringing you THE 6IXTY – Cricket’s Power Game on 24 Aug to 28 Aug.

Fans can look forward to the following exciting new rules:

• Each batting team has six wickets – at the fall of the sixth wicket they are all out

• 30 balls from one side of the pitch and 30 balls from the far side
• In a 30-ball game, a bowler Cable can only do 2 overs.
• In a 30-ball game, if a bowler bowls more overs, One team member will be out of the field.
• Fans will vote for the timing of a “Mystery Free Hit” where a batter can’t be dismissed by the bowler
• Future expansion plans of the 6IXTY include the potential of multiple events at different locations around the Caribbean and beyond.

THE 6IXTY is a joint venture between Cricket West Indies and the Caribbean Premier League with the two organizations working closely together to create another world-class event.
