6IXTY Cricket Tournament Schedule, Date, Rules, Teams And Format 2022
THE 6IXTY is a version of T10 cricket, but with significant changes.
Several of the qualities are as follows:
– Instead of 10 wickets, each batter has six. That is, the batting squad will be deemed all.
-out when the sixth wicket falls;
– There will be a floater shot on goal over that the batting team may ‘unlock’ after striking two sixes in the first two overs;
– As the name implies, there will be 60 permissible deliveries/10 overs every innings;
– From either end, the bowler’s team will toss 30 balloons straight. And the sessions should be finished in 45 minutes; If a side fails to complete its ten overs in the allotted time, an outfielder will be eliminated for the final six balls;
– And, through an app or website, users will determine when the mystery-free hit’ may be taken.
THE 6IXTY is the result of tight coordination with CPL and CWI, and it represents the way forward. “I am particularly enthusiastic about the creativity, excitement, and pleasure that it will offer to the fans,” Cricket West Indies Chairman Ricky Skerritt remarked.
Under the legislation and requirements authorized by the International Cricket Council, three versions are being played: Test series over 5 days with 90 overs per day; One-Day International players, 50 overs each side; and Twenty20 International players, 20 overs per side.

The reigning premiers are indeed St Kitts and Nevis Patriots.
