The 2024 Hong Kong Cricket Sixes will be the twentieth edition of the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes that is scheduled to take place at Mission Road Ground in Mong Kok, Hong Kong. The tournament will host 12 nations that will be competing across three days from the 1 to 3 November 2024. This will mark a 7-year hiatus since the tournament was last played.[1] South Africa are the defending champions.
Rules and regulations
[edit]All standard laws of the game as laid down by the M. C. C. applied with the following significant differences:
General
[edit]Games are played between two teams of six players, and consist of five overs of six balls, with the exception of the final which consists of five overs of eight balls. Each member of the fielding side, with the exception of the wicket-keeper shall bowl one over. Wides and no-balls count as two runs to the batting side, plus an extra ball.
Last man stands
[edit]If five wickets fall (not including batsmen retiring not out) before the allocated overs have been completed, the remaining batsman continues, with the last batsman out remaining as a runner. The not out batsman shall always face strike, and shall be declared out if his partner is declared out.
Batsman retire
[edit]A batsman must retire not out on reaching 31 runs, but not before. He may complete all runs scored on the ball on which he reaches his 31, and retire immediately after. If one of the last pair of batsmen is out, any remaining not out batsman may resume his innings. In the case where there is more than one, they must return in the order they retired.
