Infosys Technologies will host the third edition of the 'Infy Cup', an invitational cricket tournament for corporates, beginning on Saturday, February 26, 2005 at the Infosys Cricket Pavilion in Bangalore. Twelve of the country's best corporate teams, including defending champions Infosys and teams like ANZ IT, Wipro, HSBC and Hewlett-Packard, will vie for the trophy. Mr. Sudhakar Rao, Assistant Secretary, KSCA, will inaugurate the tournament. The Infy Cup will be spread over a period of three months, with matches held on the weekend.
This year, the Infy Cup follows a format based on the 1999 World Cup. There will be an initial league round, a Super Six round, followed by the semi finals and the final. To give all teams a fair chance, Infosys has introduced the Super Six stage after the initial league round. This will allow the top three teams from each group to qualify based on the final points tally.
Infosys' long-standing patronage to cricket is well known. In January this year, the company hosted the India-Australia Women's' One-Day Cricket Series at the cricket ground in Infosys' Mysore campus.
