League: Cricket
The fourth edition of The Hundred Men‘s competition is set to commence on July 23, 2024, featuring a match between the Oval Invincibles and the Birmingham Phoenix at the Oval. The tournament will conclude with the Final at Lord’s on August 18.
As the defending champions, the Invincibles will be keen to retain their title, while the Originals, last year’s runners-up, will be eager to make their mark this season alongside other teams.
Eight teams are participating in the 2024 tournament: Oval Invincibles, Birmingham Phoenix, Southern Brave, London Spirit, Welsh Fire, Manchester Originals, Trent Rockets and Northern Superchargers. The competition will include 32 league games, followed by an Eliminator and the Final. This structure ensures a comprehensive format, allowing each team ample opportunity to advance to the knockout stages.
The Hundred, introduced by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in 2021, features a distinctive format where each team plays a single 100-ball innings instead of the traditional overs.
This competition incorporates several innovations, including a 25-ball powerplay period, during which only two fielders are allowed outside the 30-yard circle, and a strategic timeout of 90 seconds for tactical discussions. These changes are designed to offer a quicker, more family-friendly version of the game, aiming to attract new audiences. The tournament’s format and high-profile international stars have contributed to its significant viewership and fan engagement.
Divided into two groups, the tournament will see a total of 32 matches in the group stage. The top teams from each group will advance to the knockout stages, leading to the Final where the champion will be determined. With its engaging format and exciting matches, The Hundred continues to be a notable cricket competition in the UK, promising a thrilling season ahead.
