The Hundred Cricket Event is a fast-paced professional league that revolutionises traditional cricket with its unique 100 ball format. This exciting tournament brings teams together for intense matches that deliver constant action, making it perfect for fans who want thrilling cricket entertainment in a shorter time frame.
It’s also one of the most modern events in cricket, with the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) creating this tournament in 2021.
Eight teams compete in this exciting format, with each team representing a major UK city. The teams that make up the complete roster are as follows:
It’s also worth mentioning that each franchise fields both men's and women's sides, creating double the entertainment for cricket fans.
Just like the name suggests, teams face a total of 100 balls in this unique format, removing the concept of overs entirely. Bowlers deliver balls in sets of five, though captains can choose to have their bowlers deliver ten consecutive balls for strategic advantage.
Each bowler can bowl a maximum of 20 balls during an innings. The powerplay lasts for 25 balls in each innings, restricting the fielding team to just two players on the boundary during this period.
Teams can use a 150-second strategic timeout after the Powerplay ends, giving them crucial time to plan their strategy. The bowling side controls when to use this timeout. The scoring system remains similar to other limited overs formats, with runs, boundaries, and wickets determining the winner. Naturally, whichever team ends the match on the highest number of runs will be declared the winner.
All eight teams start in the group stages, playing eight matches each with a focus on local rivalries. The team that sits on top of the group advances straight to the final, while the teams in second and third face off in the Eliminator Match to see who takes the second spot. Whichever team wins this match will then face the group stage champion in the Grand Final!
