In the last couple of years, many cricket boards and private companies have been investing in the growth of cricket in the United States of America (USA). One more new competition came up recently called the National Cricket League USA (NCL USA) which plans to bring multiple formats of the game to the country, including the NCL T10.
They launched the Sixty Strikes T10 competition which as the name suggests is a 60-ball or 10-over format, wherein the franchise teams have a good mix of international players, retired cricketers from around the world, and local players from USA as well. NCL T10 Season 1 was scheduled between 4-14 Oct 2024, in Dallas, America.
Sixty Strikes T10 winners list
New York Lions CC, Atlanta Kings CC, LA Waves CC, Texas Gladiators CC, Dallas Lonestars CC, and Chicago CC are the six participating teams in NCL USA, with CC indicating ‘Cricket Club’ in all of them. Here on this page on Read Scoops, we explore all past seasons of the tournament, and which franchises have won every NCL T10 edition from start till date.
The first ever edition of the Sixty Strikes T10 competition ended with Chicago CC facing off against Atlanta Kings in the NCL T10 final. Chicago CC blew away their opponents with yet another strong batting performance, winning by 43 runs which is a massive victory margin in the 10-over format of cricket.

NCL T10 2024 winners
While Robin Uthappa and Chris Lynn were providing the firepower for Chicago CC right through the season, it was Trinidad & Tobago’s Leonardo Julien who helped them get to a whopping total of 160/4 in their 10 overs. That turned out to be too much for Atlanta Kings who only got 117/4 in reply, where Tom Bruce top scored with 61(21)*. See the winning moment here:
