Nokia is hosting a Cricket Match on top of Mt. Everest as a part of Nokia Maps Everest Test

The match would be a Twenty20 match and will happen on April 21st at an altitude no team sporting event  has ever take place  (except air diving ).

The Teams Team Hillary and Team Tenzing will be using Nokia N79s and N85s to record their progress with Nokia Maps and Sports Tracker -  from their heart rate to daily blog entries.

The team members will also be teaching cricket to kids in a village called Khumjung, and donating their kit.

Both teams are  raising cash for The Himalayan Trust UK and The Lord’s Taverners.

The hope to raise about £250,000.
