The tournament would be the first of its kind to be completely televised and recorded. Faisal Ahsan Siddiqui, a senior media trainee from SIMC is heading the team to convert the event into a success.
The format of the tournament has been fixed to be Knock-out and thus there is hardly any second chance for the participating teams to come back. Just a single mistake and the sojourn is over for the teams.
The rules and dynamics of cricket have been twisted and tweaked to make the event more enthralling and exhilarating. Each team would constitute of 9 players and each innings would have 9 overs. The matches will be played with soft tennis balls instead of hard cricketing balls.
One thing that completely sets the tournament apart is the fact that the last over of all the innings would have 9 balls to remain true to the number 9 which is the driving force for the event.
