Sixes Social Cricket has launched a new World Cup game mode at its Manchester venue in the Corn Exchange, coinciding with the Cricket World Cup which is now underway.
The World Cup game mode gives people the chance to face 12 balls against some of the most famous deliveries seen in World Cup history, including the spin of Shane Warne.
With its technology developed by BatFast, players will face replicas that resemble the speed and spin of each ball. The game mode is available throughout the tournament, which ends on 19th November.
Sixes CEO & Co-Founder, Calum Mackinnon, says: “We’re absolutely delighted to bring this World Cup game mode to Sixes. Fans can often be the biggest critics in sport but now we’ve given them the chance to face these 12 infamous balls to see how they would get on.
“We’ve launched this to coincide with the upcoming Cricket World Cup as it is the most prestigious event in the cricketing calendar. In sporting terms, the World Cup is the pinnacle which we know will bring in new audiences to the game; We hope to attract both cricket fans and new fans to take on the full Sixes experience”.
