1987 жылғы Перт Челленджі: Крикет турнирі

Cricket tournament

The Benson and Hedges Challenge (also known as "The Perth Challenge" or simply "Perth Challenge" by non commercial broadcasters such as ABC Local Radio) was a one off one day international cricket tournament played at the WACA Ground in Perth, Western Australia from 30 December 1986 to 7 January 1987 as part of the 1987 America's Cup Festival of Sport. The tournament was won by England who defeated Pakistan by 5 wickets in the final. West Indies and host nation Australia also took part.

This tournament saw the first matches played under floodlights at the WACA Ground with four of the seven matches being day/night games. In addition, the pitch square had been relaid prior to the 1985–86 season and had a full year to settle. The seating areas had been redeveloped with concourse seating installed and a new two tier grandstand was under construction at the Swan River end of the ground. The team uniforms for the tournament were based on the official shirts for the 1986 87 America's Cup being held concurrently in Fremantle. Each team's main colour made up the bottom half of the shirt, their secondary colour made up the top half and a white stripe surrounded the shirt over the chest. The official logo of the tournament was based on a 12 metre class yacht with a white cricket ball half doubling as the spinnaker. Prize money for the tournament was $3,000 for winning and $1,500 for losing in the group stage, $10,000 for finishing runners up and $20,000 for winning the tournament, making a total of $61,000. Television coverage was provided by the Nine Network, while commercial free radio broadcasts were provided by ABC Local Radio.
