Jazz, Pakistan’s leading digital operator, has announced the launch of its first independently hosted national tape ball cricket tournament—Jazz Tapeball Clash (JTC)—set to take place in Sialkot from June 23 to 28, 2025. Hosted at Faraz Cricket Ground, the tournament will bring together some of the country’s most celebrated street cricket icons, including Taimoor Mirza, Fahad Mian Channu, Khurram Chakwal, Umri Pacer, Chota Vikki, and many more.
With JTC, Jazz moves from sponsor to organizer, formalizing Pakistan’s most beloved grassroots sport. This marks Jazz’s deepened commitment to tape-ball cricket—not just spotlighting raw, local talent, but supporting a national platform that turns street passion into professional opportunity. JTC elevates the experience with team kits, match officials, digital scoring, and real-time content—bridging the gap between gully cricket and stadium lights.
Kazim Mujtaba, President Consumer Division at Jazz, said, “Cricket is in our DNA, and tape ball is where the story starts for millions of young Pakistanis. With Jazz Tapeball Clash, we’re building a platform that gives this street culture the recognition, structure, and scale it truly deserves. It’s about celebrating homegrown heroes and inspiring the next generation of cricketers.”
Echoing this sentiment, Ali Fahd, Head of Marketing at Jazz, added, “Tape-ball cricket isn’t just a game—it’s where passion begins for millions across Pakistan. With JTC, we’re turning that street passion into a national movement. This tournament is about more than just matches—it’s about empowering youth, celebrating local heroes, and proving that the streets are where stars are made—even before the spotlight finds them.”
The six-day tournament will feature nightly matches under floodlights. As part of Jazz’s evolution from connectivity to capability, JTC is being positioned as a digital-first experience—streamed live on the Tamasha app and amplified across social platforms—ensuring fans across the country can follow the action anytime, anywhere. From street to screen, every over becomes a shared story, making JTC more than just a tournament—a nationwide cricket movement powered by Jazz.
JTC reflects Jazz’s broader commitment to engaging Pakistan’s youth through accessible, inclusive, and tech-enabled experiences.
