Tape ball, traditionally played on the streets with a tennis ball wrapped in electrical tape, is to Pakistan culture what backyard cricket is to Australians. After originating in the streets of Karachi in the 1960’s, the format has also become popular amongst Indian, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan and Nepalese communities.
The Sydney Thunder Tape Ball League will start on Monday August 26 and be played over seven weeks at Blacktown International Sports Park (BISP).
