Deemed as the ‘fastest format’ of the game with every match of just 45 minutes
Every player from their teams, except the wicketkeeper, must bowl one over.
Wides and no-balls will count as 2 runs.
If 5 wickets fall before completing 5 overs, the last batter continues to bat with the fifth batter acting as a runner, always staying on strike. The innings concludes when the 6th wicket falls.
Batsmen retire upon reaching 31 runs but can return if all other players have retired or been dismissed.
Ticket Details
As per various reports, the tickets for HK6 are priced at $150 for Day 1, $250 for Day 2, and $350 for Day 3. A three-day pass is available at the cost of $580.
