Ultimate Indoor Cricket is organising the M&M Remit UIC Cup—Corporate 2016 Indoor Cricket Tournament from August 18.

The league-cum-knockout tournament will include 24 teams who will battle out for the championship at the organisers’ indoor facility in Koteshwor. Century Bank, WWF, Nepal Sports Journalists Forum, Citizens Bank, Siddhartha Development Bank, Annapurna Post, Youwe Home, M&M Remit, Mega Bank, Subisu Cablenet, Point Click Care, Kasthmandam Development Bank and Fly Dubai are few of the participating teams.

The participating teams are divided into eight groups with the winners and runners-up from each pool making it to the round of 16. The 10-day event, which is into its third edition, is sponsored by M&M Remit. Man-of-the-series will win a return ticket to the United Arab Emirates from Fly Dubai.

M&M Remit Senior General Manager Devesh Bhattarai said tie-up with the organisers was their effort to contribute in cricket. “We have been trying to get into partnership with cricketing events and this is just a start from us. We are looking forward to continuing this partnership,” said Bhattarai.

Century Bank had won the inaugural edition of the tournament before Huwaei won the second. The 12-over indoor cricket is a six-players-a-side event and has its own rules and regulations.
