The 21st Bangkok Post Hua Hin Invitational Cricket Sixes tournament begins today at the Dusit Thani Hua Hin.
The outfield is in perfect shape and the pitch is set to assist both batsmen and bowlers with the weather expected to be sunny and warm.
The 20 participating teams look particularly strong, especially in the top-tier Cup competition. The 2015 winners, Thai Thevada, will be boosted by the addition of national team star Bobby Raina and Victorian Mick Lewis. A strong Carlton CC line-up, two more experienced Melbourne clubs, and the Walton Warriors all have their eyes on the Cup.
Favourites in the Masters are Narayanganj CL from Bangladesh whose gifted players with international experience are likely to be challenged by local crowd favourites, the Thai Masters.
Play gets underway at 8.40am and will continue until 5.30pm.
