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.

අගෝස්තු 24වන දා සිට 28වන දා දක්වා සාන්ත කිට්ස් සහ නේවිස්හි දී ප්රථම වරට THE 6ixty තරගාවලිය පැවැත්වීමට සැලසුම් කර ඇත. ඒ පිරිමි කණ්ඩායම් 6ක සහ කාන්තා කණ්ඩායම් 3ක සහභාගිත්වයෙන් ය. කොදෙව් ක්රිකට් ආයතනය පවසන පරිදි මෙම තරගාවලියට සුපිරි ක්රිකට් ක්රීඩකයන් කිහිප දෙනෙක් ම එක්වීමට නියමිතයි.
THE 6ixty තරගාවලියට ම ආවේණික වූ නව නීතිරීති කිහිපයක් හඳුන්වා දීමට කොදෙව් ක්රිකට් බලධාරීන් කටයුතු කර තිබේ.
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.
එමෙන් ම මිනිත්තු 45ක් ඇතුළත පන්දු වාර 10 යොමු කිරීමට යම් කණ්ඩායමකට නොහැකි වේ නම් එම කණ්ඩායමට පන්දු රකින්නෙකු නොමැතිව අවසන් පන්දු 6 යොමු කිරීමට සිදුවන බව කොදෙව් ක්රිකට් ආයතනය අවධාරණය කරයි.
