Twenty20 World Cup

“Twenty20 is cricket on speed… it gives spectators more drama and intensity in three hours that they would get form a whole-day match”  Vikas Swarup

The Sky Sports campaign for the India 2016 ICC World Twenty20 – which Sky had exclusive television rights to broadcast. With this in mind a fairly fierce and impactful campaign was required to hit home the atmosphere, volatility and excitement that only T20 cricket can deliver. The campaign was based on placing the viewer at the heart of the action, at the crease, on-point. Witness first-hand the intensity between rival teams, experience a fast-ball, hurled at you from one of the world’s fastest bowlers (Dale Steyn) and be involved in the drama of a fast-paced passage of play.
