The 6ixty 2022 Format and Rules
The games’ rules will change a little from those of typical cricket tournaments. Ten over will be played by each team during batting. From one end, 30 of these will be bowled. The final 30 balls will then be tossed from the opposite end. One bowler is only allowed to bowl a maximum of two overs throughout an innings, and these 30 balls will be bowled in 5 different overs.
There will only be six wickets for each team. The team shall be regarded as out after the removal of the sixth wicket. There will be 2 powerplay overs for each batting team. By hitting two sixes in the first 12 balls, they can start the third powerplay over. The third to ninth overs are available for this additional powerplay over.
One player will be taken off the field for the final six balls if the sides do not finish their overs in the allotted time. The time of a “mystery free hit,” in which a batsman cannot be removed by the bowler, will be decided by the audience.
