New 60-ball Cricket Tournament from West Indies…
West Indies Cricket Association and Caribbean Premier League organizers have introduced a new 60-ball cricket tournament called ‘THE 6ixty’.
The first-ever THE 6ixty Tournament is scheduled to play from August 24-28 in St. Kitts and Nevis with the participation of 6 men’s teams and 3 women’s teams. According to the West Indies Cricket Association, the tournament will feature a number of top cricketers.
West Indies Cricket authorities have introduced several new rules that are unique to THE 6ixty tournament.
In this tournament, each team will get only 6 wickets instead of 10 wickets. That is, with the loss of the 6th wicket, all the players are considered to have been dismissed.
One team has two powerplay overs, and in THE 6ixty series, the batting team has the potential to win even a third powerplay over if they want to. But to get the third powerplay, the batsmen have to hit two sixes in the first 12 balls.
The bowling team will have to bowl five consecutive overs at one end in this new series, although bowling will generally be able to switch the side from over to over.
West Indies Cricket emphasizes that if a team fails to bowl 10 overs in 45 minutes, it will have to bowl the last 6 balls without a fielder.

මෙම තරගාවලිය තුළ දී එක් කණ්ඩායමකට කඩුලු 10ක් වෙනුවට කඩුලු 6ක් පමණක් හිමි වේ. එනම් 6වෙනි කඩුල්ල දැවි යෑමත් සමග සියලු ක්‍රීඩකයන් දැවී ගියා සේ සැලකේ.
එක් කණ්ඩායමකට පවර්ප්ලේ පන්දුවාර දෙකක් හිමි වන අතර THE 6ixty තරගාවලිය තුළ දී පිතිකරණ කණ්ඩායමට අවශ්‍ය නම් තෙවැනි පවර්ප්ලේ පන්දුවාරයක් ලබා ගැනීමට වුව ද හැකියාව තිබේ. නමුත් තෙවැනි පවර්ප්ලේ පන්දුවාරය ලබා ගැනීමට නම් පළමු පන්දු 12 තුළ හයේ පහර දෙකක් එල්ල කිරීමට පිතිකරුවන්ට සිදු වේ.
පන්දු යැවීමේදී සාමාන්‍යයෙන් පන්දු වාරයෙන් පන්දු වාරයට අන්ත මාරු කිරීමට හැකි වූවත් කොදෙව්වන්ගේ මෙම අලුත් තරගාවලිය තුළ පන්දු වාර 5ක් අඛණ්ඩව එක් අන්තයකින් යොමු කිරීමට සිදු වේ.

மேற்கிந்திய தீவுகளில் இருந்து புதிய 60 பந்துகள் கொண்ட கிரிக்கெட் போட்டி…
மேற்கிந்திய தீவுகள் கிரிக்கெட் சங்கம் மற்றும் கரீபியன் பிரீமியர் லீக் அமைப்பாளர்கள் ‘THE 6ixty’ என்ற புதிய 60 பந்துகள் கொண்ட கிரிக்கெட் போட்டியை அறிமுகப்படுத்தியுள்ளனர்.
6 ஆண்கள் அணிகள் மற்றும் 3 பெண்கள் அணிகள் பங்கேற்கும் முதல் THE 6ixty போட்டி ஆகஸ்ட் 24-28 வரை செயின்ட் கிட்ஸ் மற்றும் நெவிஸில் நடைபெற உள்ளது. மேற்கிந்திய தீவுகள் கிரிக்கெட் சங்கத்தின் கூற்றுப்படி, இந்த போட்டியில் பல சிறந்த கிரிக்கெட் வீரர்கள் பங்கேற்க உள்ளனர்.
மேற்கிந்திய தீவுகள் கிரிக்கெட் அதிகாரிகள் 6ixty போட்டிக்கு தனித்துவமான பல புதிய விதிகளை அறிமுகப்படுத்தியுள்ளனர்.
இந்த போட்டியில் ஒவ்வொரு அணியும் 10 விக்கெட்டுகளுக்கு பதிலாக 6 விக்கெட்டுகளை மட்டுமே பெறும். அதாவது 6வது விக்கெட்டை இழந்த நிலையில் அனைத்து வீரர்களும் ஆட்டமிழந்ததாக கருதப்படுகிறது.
ஒரு அணிக்கு இரண்டு பவர்பிளே ஓவர்கள் உள்ளன, மேலும் 6ixty தொடரில், பேட்டிங் செய்யும் அணி அவர்கள் விரும்பினால் மூன்றாவது பவர்பிளேயை கூட வெல்லும் திறனைக் கொண்டுள்ளது. ஆனால் மூன்றாவது பவர்பிளேயைப் பெற, பேட்ஸ்மேன்கள் முதல் 12 பந்துகளில் இரண்டு சிக்ஸர்களை அடிக்க வேண்டும்.
இந்த புதிய தொடரில் பந்துவீச்சு அணி தொடர்ந்து ஐந்து ஓவர்களை ஒரு முனையில் வீச வேண்டும், இருப்பினும் பந்துவீச்சு பொதுவாக ஓவரிலிருந்து ஓவருக்கு முனை மாற்றப்படும்.
ஒரு அணி 45 நிமிடங்களில் 10 ஓவர்களை வீசத் தவறினால், கடைசி 6 பந்துகளை ஒரு ஆட்டக்காரர் இல்லாமல் வீச வேண்டும் என்று மேற்கிந்திய தீவுகள் கிரிக்கெட் வலியுறுத்துகிறது.
