The Hong Kong Sixes 2024 tournament will run from November 1 to November 3 and promises to throw up some thrilling contests at the Tin Kong Road Cricket Ground, with 12 teams competing in six one-off matches. Fans will have an exciting and very different experience as the cricket carnival will be graced with some mind-blowing performances, great music and amazing food. The 12 teams have been divided into four pools of three each and will compete in a round-robin format. India, led by Robin Uthappa, is part of Pool C and has arch-rivals Pakistan along with the United Arab Emirates.
In Pool A, hosts Hong Kong will face South Africa and New Zealand, while Pool B includes Australia, England and Nepal. Pool D will feature Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Oman.
The first match to start the tournament will be played between South Africa and Hong Kong while the first day will also feature a high-voltage clash between India and Pakistan.
The top two sides from each pool will play in the quarter-finals and the winners of the quarter-final round will advance to further semi-finals. The losing teams in the quarters will play the plate semi-finals. The bottom team in each pool will play in a bowl game. A total of 29 matches will be played in the three days of the competition.
