The Hundred is back and we\u2019re here to give you the inning-side scoop about this year\u2019s competition. It\u2019s the fastest game in cricket and you could be watching from the stands this August, so here\u2019s everything you need to know. <\/p>
With the English cricket season well underway, get ready to be bowled over by one of the fastest and most action-packed tournaments around: The Hundred.<\/p>\n
This August, some of the biggest names in world cricket will be heading to the UK\u2019s most prestigious grounds to take part in this lightning-fast tournament. Playing in the likes of Lord\u2019s, Edgbaston, and The Oval will be eight city teams from across England and Wales, all hoping to take home the trophy and a prize pot of \u00a3600,000.<\/p>\n
Last year, Nottingham\u2019s Trent Rockets won the men\u2019s competition by two wickets after a battle with the Manchester Originals. Meanwhile, the women\u2019s Oval Invincibles from South London won for the second year in a row against Southampton\u2019s Southern Brave.<\/p>\n
The competition is only two years old after starting up in July 2021. The idea for a new and simpler format of cricket was proposed as a way of drawing in new fans and investing more into the women\u2019s regional game.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you can get tickets to see Australia vs India at the ICC World Test Championship Final 2023<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n The Hundred is a form of limited overs cricket, otherwise known as white-ball cricket, which is designed to fit into one day.<\/p>\n What makes The Hundred\u2019s matches quicker is the number of innings (the number of times each team takes turn to bat). Where test cricket can have up to four innings and Twenty20 has two, in The Hundred, each team only has one inning \u2013 meaning they only have one go with the bat to score as many points as possible.<\/p>\n Within that one inning, the team only has 100 balls. Once those 100 balls are bowled, that\u2019s it and the other team takes their turn to bat. At the end of the match, the team with the most runs wins.<\/p>\n Buy The Hundred tickets at Keith Prowse<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Tell us! \ud83d\udc47 #TheHundred<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/thXNGLFQnn<\/a><\/p>\u2014 The Hundred (@thehundred) June 12, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote>What is The Hundred?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
