Hong Kong Sixes Format:
The Hong Kong Sixes tournament will feature all-new format as compared to the traditional one as it has only six players per side participating in a five-innings per side match. Batters will not be allowed to bat after a certain score, whereas wides and no-balls will result in two runs.
Also, all five wickets fall then the left-alone batter will be allowed to bat on accompanied by a non-striker to help continue running between the wickets.
