The fourth edition of The Hundred commences on July 23, featuring the finest players in England alongside a plethora of international talent.
Southern Brave and Oval Invincibles are the reigning champions of the women's and men's competitions, respectively.
Here is everything you need to know about the 2024 edition, including the schedule.
What is The Hundred and Rules?
The Hundred features eight teams, each representing cities across the UK, as opposed to 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 concurrently, with each match involving both teams batting for 100 balls, and the highest score wins.
Each bowler is permitted 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 restricted to only two fielders on the boundary lasts for 25 balls per innings.
What is The Hundred 2024 format?
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 qualifies automatically for the final.
The second and third-placed teams will meet at the Kia Oval on August 17 in the Eliminator, with the winner progressing to the final the following day.
Who are the past winners of The Hundred?
Southern Brave finally secured their first women's title in 2023, having been defeated by Oval Invincibles in the final of the first two editions.
The men's tournament has seen a different winner in each of the three editions.
Southern Brave triumphed in the inaugural tournament, followed by victories for Trent Rockets and Oval Invincibles.
Manchester Originals have been defeated in the last two men's finals.
