• The Hundred is a 100-ball cricket tournament.
• The tournament runs from July 23 to August 18.
• Each match involves both men’s and women’s teams.

The fourth edition of The Hundred begins on July 23, showcasing the best players in England along with a wealth of international talent.

Southern Brave and Oval Invincibles are the current champions of the women’s and men’s competitions, respectively.

Here is all the information you need about the 2024 edition, including the schedule.

What is The Hundred and Rules?

The Hundred consists of eight teams, each representing cities across the UK, rather than the traditional county structure.

The eight teams are: Birmingham Phoenix, London Spirit, Manchester Originals, Northern Superchargers, Oval Invincibles, Southern Brave, Trent Rockets, and Welsh Fire.

The men’s and women’s tournaments run simultaneously, with each match involving both teams batting for 100 balls, and the highest score wins.

Each bowler is allowed to bowl a maximum of 20 balls, which can be delivered in sets of five or ten balls.

A powerplay, during which the fielding side is limited to only two fielders on the boundary, lasts for 25 balls per innings.

What is The Hundred 2024 format?

In the group stages, which run until August 15, each team plays eight matches. They face six teams once and their local rival twice.

The local matchups are Phoenix versus Rockets, Spirit versus Invincibles, Originals versus Superchargers, and Brave versus Fire.

The top team after the group stages automatically qualifies for the final.

The second and third-placed teams will meet at the Kia Oval on August 17 in the Eliminator, with the winner advancing to the final the following day.

Who are the past winners of The Hundred?

Southern Brave finally won their first women’s title in 2023, after being defeated by Oval Invincibles in the final of the first two editions.

The men’s tournament has had a different winner in each of the three editions.

Southern Brave won the inaugural tournament, followed by victories for Trent Rockets and Oval Invincibles.

Manchester Originals have been defeated in the last two men’s finals.
