The Hundred is a professional 100-ball cricket competition played in England, designed to make the game faster and more accessible. Each team faces exactly 100 deliveries, with bowlers delivering either five or ten consecutive balls. Matches feature eight men’s and eight women’s teams representing different cities. The format includes a league stage followed by eliminators and a final. Games are shorter than traditional T20s, lasting around 2.5 hours. Fixtures are typically held during the English summer, with the final played in August.
