2024 The Hundred Preview
The Hundred was the latest cricket tournament to be introduced in the UK and it kicked off in 2021 when the Southern Brave defeated the Birmingham Phoenix in the men's final, winning by 32 runs and the Oval Invincibles won the women's tournament by defeating Southern Brave by 48 runs in the final.
The second season saw the women's Oval Invincibles team successfully defend their title when once again defeating the Southern Brave in the final, this time by 5 wickets.
The Trent Rockets went into the final over of their final with the Manchester Originals looking second best but boundaries off the first two balls swung it in their favour and they won by two wickets.

Whilst the women's Oval Invincibles were not capable of making it three out of three in 2023, their male compatriots did win their first title in 2023 whilst the Southern Brave Women who were runners-up in both the first two seasons landed their first title in 2023.
The idea of the tournament, like most new tournaments, is to bring in new fans, it is targetting the younger generation to get them involved and more interested in cricket, the shorter format games have done well in the past to attract more support, the plan for this tournament is that the matches will last around two and half hours.

The Hundred Format
The Hundred gets its name from the fact that each inning will consist of one hundred balls, this reverts from the standard cricket format in that an over cannot consist of six balls because that does not work with a one-hundred-ball innings.
Instead, a bowler is allowed to make a delivery of either five or ten balls with a change of ends after every ten balls bowled.
Each bowler in the team can make a maximum of twenty deliveries meaning at least five bowlers will be used if the full hundred balls are bowled and the bowling team will also be allocated a two-and-a-half minute strategic time-out.
For the batting team, the first twenty-five balls of their innings will be classed as a powerplay where the fielding team will only be allowed two fielders outside of the thirty-yard circle.
