Tournament Format and Rules

The matches in the tournament will be of 5 overs each. A team will have 6 players each. Every player except wicket wicketkeeper has to bowl 1-1 over. Also if the bowler bowls a no-wide ball an extra 2 runs will be awarded. In international cricket, a wide and a no ball is awarded an extra 1 run.

In international cricket, a team is all out after losing 10 wickets, while 1 player returns unbeaten. In this tournament, after 5 wickets, the sixth batsman can play alone. But his partner will have one player on non-strike. Even if the sixth batsman scores a run, he will come back to the striker. As soon as the sixth batsman is out, the team will be all out.

With such a dynamic and entertaining format, fans can expect plenty of thrills and excitement as Team India looks to reclaim the title!
