Tangkyu tumas Vanuatu!

More cricket is on for all of us to sit down and enjoy from the group of islands in the Pacific, and you don’t need to be an expert in Bislama to immerse yourself in the fiery action over the five days of action over four weeks!

The BetBarter Vanuatu T10 Blast begins Thursday on the hybrid wicket at the VCG in Port Vila, with three teams vying to be crowned the inaugural champion. Enjoying almost 500,000 views of their Women’s T20 finals day in late April, it’s the men vying for a trophy in a new-look tournament, with a new look logo.

Even going as far as refusing foreign aid works from entry into the country after Cyclone Harold in April, Vanuatu has escaped the COVID-19 pandemic, keeping the possibility of live cricket alive. There are still no confirmed cases in the country, and over 50 players across Vanuatu will be thrown into the limelight, competing in front of thousands in relative safety.
