The second edition of The Hundred (men’s) is up and running across the eight venues in England and Wales. Top international stars including the likes of Alex Hales, Eoin Morgan, Kieron Pollard, Sunil Narile et al have already announced their arrival in the ECB’s 100-ball tournament.
The defending men’s champion Southern Brave began their campaign with a win right away in their first match, with a comfortable 9-wicket triumph versus Welsh Fire. Brave skipper James Vince played a match-winning half-century knock to help his team cruise towards victory and also continue with his purple patch of batting form.
So far, in the seven complete matches of The Hundred, London Spirit and the Trent Rockets are leading the points table, with two wins in as many matches. The Welsh Fire and Manchester Originals are presently at the bottom of the table, with two back-to-back losses.
