9th November: The world’s richest and most exciting cricket
sixes tournament, The Hong Kong International Cricket Sixes, takes
place this weekend and Ten Sports has exclusive coverage of all
the action.
The twelfth edition of the event will see some of the best known
names in cricket take to the field at the Kowloon Cricket Club including
Darren Gough and Dominic Cork of England, South African Nicky Boje,
West Indian Champions Trophy representatives Carlton Baugh and Marlon
Samuels and Pakistanis Imran Nazir and Yasir Arafat.
Add to that the considerable talents of Indian Reetinder Sodhi,
last year's Player of the Tournament, and Sri Lankan Saman Jayantha,
who won the accolade in 2003, and all the ingredients are in place
for another explosive weekend of cricket.
India, Australia, West Indies, England, New Zealand Kiwis, South
Africa, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Hong Kong are the nine teams that
will be competing for the coveted trophy but before they are able
to claim victory the winning side will have to battle through two
round robin stages and then the knock out stages to reach the final.
And for the first time on Ten Sports the channel will have a female
commentator on its team. Kass Naidoo is South Africa’s first
female cricket commentator and she will be making her Ten Sports
debut this weekend at the Hong Kong Sixes.
Coverage of the tournament begins at 19.00 hours IST
