Interesting rules of this tournament
There are some rules of this tournament which make it more interesting. In this tournament only power hitting is emphasized. The rules of this tournament are also similar to street cricket to some extent. For example, even if 5 players of a team of 6 players are out, the sixth player will continue to play. Matches are played between teams of six players, with a maximum of five overs for each team. However, in the final match each team will bowl 5 overs, compared to 8 balls in normal matches. Except for the wicketkeeper, each member of the fielding team must bowl one over, while wides and no-balls will result in 2 runs.
