2025 Hong Kong Sixes

The 2025 Hong Kong Sixes was the 21st edition of the Hong Kong Cricket Sixes that took place at the Mission Road Ground in Mong Kok, Hong Kong. The tournament consisted of 12 nations and was played across three days from 7 to 9 November 2025.

Background

The Hong Kong Cricket Sixes is a six-a-side international cricket tournament held at the Kowloon Cricket Club. It is organised by the Cricket Hong Kong and sanctioned by the International Cricket Council. The first edition was played in 1992 and was last played in 2024. The tournament returned in 2024 after a 7-year hiatus and the number of teams was increased to 12 from 8 in previous editions. Sri Lanka are the defending champions, having defeated Pakistan in the previous cup final.

Rules and regulations

All standard laws of the game as laid down by the MCC applied with the following significant differences:

  • Games are played between two teams of six players.
  • Games consist of six overs of six balls.
  • Each member of the fielding side, except for the wicket-keeper, shall bowl one over with only one member bowling two overs non consecutively.
  • Wides and no-balls count as the usual extra run to the batting side, plus an extra ball, with no free hit for no-balls.
  • A batter must retire 'not out' on reaching a personal score of 50 runs but may not retire before reaching 50 runs. If one of the last pair of batters is out, any retired 'not out' batter may resume his innings.
  • If five wickets fall before 6 overs are completed, the last remaining batter shall bat on with the 5th out batter acting as a runner. The last remaining batter must always be the striker, and shall be declared out if his partner gets out (run out or obstructing the field). The innings shall be completed at the fall of the sixth wicket.
