6ixty is the first-of-its kind T10 tournament inaugurating in the Caribbean under CWI control.
The inaugural edition of the 6ixty women’s competition kickstarts on Wednesday (August 24) in the Caribbean. Organised by Cricket West Indies (CWI) and Caribbean Premier League (CPL) authorities, the first-ever 6ixty tournament is the first-of-its-kind event taking place in the build-up to the maiden women’s CPL in the region.
The women’s 6ixty will be contested by three teams – Barbados Royals, Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders – in a double round-robin tri-series format, with the top sides making the cut for the finale. Played in the T10 version, the 6ixty will have several tweaks to the usual regulations of the sport.
Teams will be considered dismissed if they happen to lose six wickets, unlike ten in domestic and international cricket. To save time, first five overs of the innings will be bowled at one end before a change to the other side of the pitch for the remaining overs.
Fielding teams must bowl their entire 10-over quota in 45 minutes, failing to do which makes them liable to field with a fielder less for the final over of the innings.
The first two overs of the innings will be deemed the powerplay overs, with only two fielders allowed outside the 30-yard circle. Batting teams can unlock a special third powerplay over if they hit two sixes in the initial two powerplay overs.
These rules add to the fun element of the first-ever edition of the 6ixty women’s tournament.
