The inaugural DTC Hong Kong T20 Blitz has ended in unfortunate circumstances with heavy rain causing the abandonment of all three of Sunday’s matches including the final.

The opening two days of the tournament were also affected by the weather but Saturday’s crowd and the standard of play proved .

The Woodworm Warriors and Kowloon Cantons had both tallied three points and were determined joint winners.

“The standard of cricket in the tournament was all four teams was excellent, Cantons captain Scott McKechnie said.

“The Woodworm Warriors in particular were playing some very good cricket and I’m sure if we had a final today it would have been a very good game to watch.”

“I think this weekend we’ve really put Hong Kong Cricket on the map, and it’s got great exposure for all the right reasons.”

Despite the disappointment of not playing the final, Warriors captain Jamie Atkinson echoed the thoughts of McKechnie in seeing the tournament’s bigger picture.

“It was a great experience to get this tournament going anyway and get the best players in Hong Kong and the overseas talent to come in.”

“At least we got some matches in at a good standard, hopefully next year it will be bigger and better.”

From Hong Kong Cricket Associations perspective the tournament in its first year was a success but are adamant many improvements can be made.

“It’s obviously a major disappointment to have today washed out but we need to look at the positives at what this event has achieved as a whole,” Tournament Chief Max Abbott said.

“I need to thank the ground staff and volunteers for their help to do everything possible to get the ground ready for play.”

“We’ll be back bigger and better next year – hopefully with a venue that is improved.”
