The 2022 FairBreak Invitational T20 was a women's Twenty20 cricket competition, which took place from 4 to 15 May 2022 in Dubai. The tournament, sanctioned by the ICC, was privately-run by FairBreak Global, a company that aims to promote gender equality. Players from 35 countries were spread across six teams.[1][2][3] The tournament was won by Tornadoes, who beat Falcons in the final by 8 wickets.[4]
Background
The tournament was privately-run by FairBreak Global, with the aim of improving differences in pay, quality of play, and opportunity between men and women in cricket. The tournament was run in conjunction with Cricket Hong Kong, and was originally scheduled to be held in Hong Kong, but was moved to Dubai due to COVID-19 restrictions in Hong Kong.[1][2] The tournament was seen as the first of its kind, and followed FairBreak teams being fielded in exhibition matches since 2013.[5]
Competition format
Teams played each other team once, with two matches taking place per day. The top four teams in the group advanced to the semi-finals. All matches took place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.[6][7]
The group worked on a points system with positions being based on the total points. Points were awarded as follows:[8]
Win: 3 points.
Tie: 1 point.
Loss: 0 points.
Abandoned/No Result: 1 point.
Bonus Point: 1 point awarded to the team with the highest score after 10 overs of the batting innings.
