Cricket Sixes Return

After a seven-year absence, the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes return to the Tin Kwong Road Cricket Ground on 1-3 November, 2024. Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Pakistan, England, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, Oman, UAE, and Hong Kong will compete in 50-minute matches.

“Between 1992 and 2017, the Hong Kong International Cricket Sixes was a highlight of our sporting calendar. We are excited to bring it back, not just as a cricket event, but as a celebration of our city and its potential in the world of sports. With cricket’s inclusion in the LA Games 2028 and possibly Brisbane 2032, this event will help propel the sport’s growth in East Asia,” said Burji Shroff, Chairperson of Cricket Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Beat Kuwait to Win ODI Tournament

With Kuwait needing just 5 runs to win, Hong Kong‘s Ehsan Khan bowled tail-ender Yasin Patel to clinch the triangular ODI tournament win.

Batting first Hong Kong were bowled out in the 50th over for 268, the innings underpinned by a 128-run second-wicket partnership between Anshy Rath (65) and Babar Hyatt (62) and wicketkeeper Zeeshan Ali’s 44.

Kuwait started slowly as tight Hong Kong bowling and a steady flow of wickets saw the hosts in control. A quick-fire partnership of 62 between Bilal Tahir and Sayed Monib for the 7th wicket brought the visitors right back into the game.

As he did in last week’s T20 tournament, right-arm off-spinner Khan clinched Hong Kong’s victory as he finished with figures of 4-39.

Hong Kong Captain Nizakat Khan praised his bowler “I made sure Ehsan kept his overs for the death and made sure he bowled those overs.”

Kuwait and Hong Kong had previously both beaten Malaysia to set up a ‘final’ to decide the tournament.
