A Landmark Moment for Cricket

Dustin Gaskell | October 13, 2025

We’re thrilled to celebrate the historic opening match of the Canada Super60 at the iconic BC Place in Vancouver.

The Gabba H3 Hybrid Pitch — the world’s first drop-in hybrid of its kind!

Against the clock, with the wicket dropped in just two days before the first ball, the pitch performed superbly, proving the power of innovation and showcasing the future of cricket.

This milestone is more than a match — it’s a global turning point. The H3 Hybrid sets a new standard for sustainable, high-performance playing surfaces, paving the way for cricket’s growth across continents.

A massive thank you to everyone who made this historic achievement possible. The future of cricket has arrived — and it’s brighter than ever.
