ISLAMABAD: The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Thursday launched an official event website for the ICC Champions Trophy to be staged in England and Wales between June 6 and 23.
The website will have short form match highlights from all matches in the tournament as well as exclusive behind the scenes content with all the teams and leading players, as well as special pieces around the event, says a press release issued here on Thursday.
The site will allow fans to follow live ball-by-ball coverage, including an exclusive interactive video scorecard, of all warm-up and event matches. A new and unique feature of the site will also allow fans to enter the special `Hot or Not' contest to choose the `hottest' moment in ODI cricket from among a selection of the 50 best moments in the format.
The supporters of the game will receive an opportunity to pick, for example, whether Javed Miandad's last ball six to seal Pakistan's famous win against India at Sharjah in 1986 is hotter than Sachin Tendulkar of India's double hundred in February 2010 against South Africa in an ODI.
Campbell Jamieson, the ICC's General Manager Commercial, said, "The Champions Trophy is of course the best versus best in the ODI format and this seems an ideal time for us to have launched the opportunity for fans to pick their best moment in the ODI format."
Pakistan has been placed in Group B of the Champions Trophy besides India, South Africa and West Indies. On the other hand Group A includes Australia, Sri Lanka, New Zealand and England.
Pakistan will be playing its opener against West Indies on June 7, second match on June 10 against South Africa and the third match against arch-rivals India on June 15.
