The Super 60 countdown is here. In less than one month, Canadian cricket fans can be part of a six-day tournament designed to bring a new era to the game. The inaugural edition of the Super 60 will be held at BC Place Stadium in downtown Vancouver from October 8 – 15. Changing the game of Cricket as we know it, the Super 60 places emerging Canadian cricketers with international stars for a ten-overs-a-side tournament, sure to bring non-stop action and excitement.
Super 60 is the first cricketing event in Canada held indoors. With a focus on inclusivity, the tournament also showcases games from both men’s and women’s talent, changing the future of cricket games. With Canada’s best emerging talent paired with international stars, the six days of cricket play promise to bring non-stop excitement and energy.
Each Super 60 match lasts about 90 minutes. Players are batting for 10 overs (60 balls), which is different from most games, ensuring fans are never disappointed with the game. The 10 overs are more fast-paced than the T20 and others, meaning players must keep their eyes on the ball at all times while making strategic judgments. The 10-vers games are more action-packed than ordinary, ensuring every fan packed into the stadium enjoys a versatile and exciting show.
