Pakistan create history with record sixth Hong Kong Sixes title after routing Kuwait

New Delhi: Pakistan have once again showcased their dominance in the Hong Kong Sixes tournament as they lift a record sixth title. They registered a commanding 43-run win over Kuwait in the 2025 final at Mission Road Ground, Mong Kok. The victory not only affirmed Men in Green's legacy in the tournament but also made them the most successful side in its history. They surpassed England and South Africa, who have won the tournament five times each.

The scenes after the win were electric as the players took a jubilant lap of honour, waving to the cheering crowd as they celebrated the country's first Hong Kong Sixes triumph in 14 years. The previous titles came in 1992, 1997, 2001, 2022 and 2011, and now, finally, in 2025, they have added another chapter to a remarkable record.

Pakistan batted first and set a target of 135 for three in their allotted overs. Every batter contributed with aggressive stroke play, setting up a total that proved too steep in Kuwait. However, Kuwait started off chasing easily and threatened to flip the script. From a flying start, Kuwait suddenly found themselves in trouble, their innings collapsing under pressure as Pakistan wrapped up the final with authority.

Kuwait's run to the final was nothing short of spectacular. On their road to final, they had taken down some of cricket's biggest names including Afghanistan, India and England. Yet, against Pakistan's all-round depth, experience and the dream run came to an abrupt halt.

Pakistan's own path to the final wasn't hurdle-free. After they suffered a narrow two-run loss to India in the pool stage, they regrouped strongly and went on to defeat South Africa by five wickets in the quarterfinal and registered a thrilling one-run victory over Australia in the semifinal. With this latest triumph, Pakistan have not only reclaimed their crown but also reminded the cricketing world they remain the undisputed kings of the Hong Kong Sixes.
