Over the week over 300kg of secondhand equipment and clothing was donated by the teams, and very generous generous donations were received from competition sponsors Lanna Rehab, the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Flight of the Gibbon, and Daddy’s Antiques.

A large number of restaurants and hospitality venues around Chiang Mai also made donations to junior cricket, helping fulfil the Sixes’ ambition of expanding support for local cricket for another year.

The Sixes raises hundreds of thousands of Baht for sports in Chiang Mai every year, and the incredible generosity of teams, sponsors, local businesses, and other individuals ensures that these essential contributions can continue to be made for many years to come.

In the final game last week, it was like old times at the Chiang Mai Sixes as Bangladesh side NCL Dynamites won the Cup by beating Australian team St Francis de Sales by six wickets.

The two sides were clearly the best two combinations in the tournament but it was Mehedi Maruf who proved the difference.

Having already hit 30 in the semi-final against Kashmir Thunder, he repeated the feat later in the day to be named Player of the Finals.

A busy day was not even put off course by heavy rain which delayed proceedings for an hour as a total of seven finals were decided. Central Spirit defeated Varee Thai Angels to win the Ladies Cup, while Ios Malakas beat Red Lion Wombats to win the Spoon, Drifters overcame Applecross to win the Plate, Lanna beat Roosters to win the Bowl, Got the Runs defeated Yorkshire Puddings to win the Shield and the day finished with Awali beating Summer Saints to win the Vase.
