Celebrating its 20th edition, this beloved tournament has grown into one of Asia’s most cherished cricket Sixes events, and yesterday’s action at the ACG reminded everyone exactly why. Teams from across the globe traded boundaries, took stunning catches, and - perhaps most importantly - shared laughs over cold drinks.

April in Phuket means sunshine, light breezes off the Andaman Sea, and long golden afternoons, conditions that make every six hit over the rope feel like it might travel all the way to Bangla Road. Day Two promises more of the same.

With the group stage tables beginning to take shape, the competition intensifies today and it is fabulous to see the welcome return to the Phuket Sixes of teams such as the legendary Corner Tigers from Pakistan.

For two decades, the Phuket International Cricket Sixes has brought cricket players and supporters together in one of the world’s most spectacular settings. Day Two is set to be unmissable.
