Sports was one of the major sectors which got affected by this pandemic immensely. Slowly but steadily, different sports are coming back on track, and cricket is surely one of them. Most fantasy cricket apps have listed the Vanuatu T10 league, after the successful completion of the Taipei T10 league. The Vanuatu T10 League is running alongside Vincy Premier League T10 which is being played in the Caribbean.
The novel COVID-19 is running havoc all around the globe, and it’s almost 3 months since human life has been affected by this. Different countries are opting for different measures to contain the spread and slowly but steadily they are achieving success. But, here’ how you can get involved in cricket with Vanuatu T10 League
Sponsored by BetBarter, the Vanuatu T10 league is one of its kind sort of competition. This would be the first instance when a domestic T10 league will be played on the island that too amid the coronavirus scare which has put human life to an abrupt still all around the globe.
Thankfully, Vanuatu is among the few nations in the world where there are no active cases going around. This has certainly pipped the Vanuatu Cricket Board to stage a triangular cricket tournament for their ardent cricket fans.
In the state of crisis, the betting market also has grabbed the opportunity with both hands to promote the local talent as Bet Barter is the title sponsor for the tournament.
Talking about the competition, three teams namely MT Bulls, Ifira Sharks and Mighty Efate Panthers will be locking horns with each other over the course of 5 days which will witness 2 matches a day. The top two teams will make it to the finals. The Vanuatu Cricket Ground in Port Vila is elected as the lone venue for the competition.
In the emerging competitive world of cricket, it is necessary to help the local talent evolve. A little push can do wonders for them and the Vanuatu Cricket Board is definitely paving its way in the right direction.
Vanuatu Cricket Association CEO Shane Deitz says:
“We’re thrilled to be working with BetBarter. There’s an incredibly strong alignment between our two organizations’ commitments for promoting talented local cricketers throughout the world.”
Vanuatu is one of the elite places in the world which is highly rated for its tourist attractions. However, with the spread of COVID-19, global restrictions were imposed. Not only this, but Vanuatu was also hit hard by Cyclone ‘Harold’ only last month. All this fuss took a toll on their revenue earnings and in response, they have now emerged as an unlikely hotspot of World Cricket.
The showpiece event is scheduled taking Indian audience into consideration to draw a large viewership. Therefore, the Dream11 Prediction tournament will host the first match of the day at 07:30 AM, whereas, the second match of the day will be played at 09:30 AM.
