The Hundred is back, and as one of the more controversial cricket tournaments gets underway, we run through the bets and prices ahead of play getting underway.
For the uninitiated, The Hundred is a limited-overs cricket competition between eight teams or franchises that are spread across the country. There is both a men’s and a women’s competition.
The main difference between The Hundred and other limited-overs competitions like the IPL or The Blast is that there are just 100 deliveries in each innings. A bowler can deliver five or ten balls in a single spell and they are capped at 20 balls per innings. There is a 25-ball powerplay for the batting side where only two fielders are allowed outside the 30 yard circle.
Of the eight sides, the winner of the league phase will automatically advance to the final, with the 2nd and 3rd placed sides playing an eliminator match for a spot in the final.
As we said, there are eight sides who play in The Hundred. Each side has a men’s and women’s team. Last year the Oval Invincibles won the men’s title again and The Northern Superchargers won the women’s title.
This year a few of the teams have partnered with sides from the IPL so have had name changes. The eight teams competing in this year’s edition of The Hundred are Birmingham Phoenix, London Spirit, Manchester Super Giants, MI London, Southern Brave, Sunrisers Leeds, Trent Rockets and Welsh Fire.
The Hundred draft is the way that the teams get filled. There are set salary bands which have to be filled with a maximum of three overseas players per team.
The Hundred showcases some of the best cricketing talent the world has to offer with players like Jos Buttler, Harry brook, Adam Zampa, Mitchell Santer, Sam Curran, Rashid Khan and Mitchell Marsh just a few of the start studded names who will be competing in the tournament.
Odds for the competition will be released on the Spreadex site and app closer to the event.
