The Hundred cricket is an exciting and innovative format of the sport, set to make its debut in the summer of 2021. This new format was developed by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in order to attract a wider and more diverse audience to the game. The Hundred is unique in that it consists of just 100 balls per team, with each innings lasting only 100 minutes. This fast-paced and high-scoring format is sure to bring a new level of excitement to the game of cricket.

The schedule for The Hundred is set to run from July 2021 to August 2021, with a total of 68 matches to be played. The eight teams that will compete in The Hundred are based in major cities across England and Wales, with star players from all around the world set to take part. The tournament will begin with a men’s match between Oval Invincibles and Manchester Originals, and a women’s match between the same teams on the same day. This thrilling new format also includes a unique rule called ‘PowerPlay’, where the batting team can choose to take a strategic timeout of up to two and a half minutes during the match. The Hundred promises to be an action-packed and dynamic tournament that will capture the attention of not only die-hard cricket fans, but also those new to the sport.
