As part of the ongoing wellbeing initiatives at IBSUniversity (IBSU), the IBSU Strikers student cricket team faced against the IBSU staff in an exciting and friendly cricket match on a Friday afternoon, the 11^th of July, 2025.

The match was very much enjoyable with more laughter, and great cricketing moments, where non-cricket staff learned a thing or two about cricket from the match.

This match aimed to encourage three things;

1.  physical wellbeing,
2.  relationships building between students and staff, and
3.  promote a culture of healthy competition and teamwork.

The IBSU Strikers showcased youthful energy and sharp gameplay, while the staff team countered with strategy and experience. Coming on top to win the match was the staff team, congratulations for their well-deserved win! 

This wellbeing event supports IBSU’s campus life for a holistic student development through sports in building a connected university community. Special thanks to Cricket PNG for their valuable support and presence during the match.

Successful hosting of the event was coordinated by Dr. Muthu Prabha Venkitachalam, Head of Student Affairs & Counselling, People and Culture Department with the joint effort of Cricket PNG.
