South Africa will compete in the Hong Kong Sixes 2026, scheduled from October 30 to November 1 in Hong Kong. The three-day tournament will feature 12 teams competing in a fast-paced six-a-side cricket format at Mission Road Ground in Mong Kok. The competition is known for its aggressive batting, quick scoring and exciting finishes, making it a different challenge from traditional cricket.
South Africa have been placed in Group D alongside Oman and Afghanistan. They will begin their campaign against Oman on October 30 before facing Afghanistan later that day. Both matches will be important for South Africa’s chances of reaching the knockout rounds. However, the team’s official squad and captain for the 2026 tournament have not been confirmed in the available information. South Africa will look to improve on their performance in the 2025 edition, when they finished joint seventh.
