Lalit Modi Warns IPL Owners Against Investing in ‘The Hundred’
IPL owners are eager to buy stakes in The Hundred tournament.
The Hundred is a new type of cricket game where each team gets to play 100 balls. There are eight teams from big cities in England and Wales. The matches are designed to be short, lasting only about two and a half hours, so they are easy to watch and fit into busy schedules.
This format makes the games very exciting and usually high-scoring, with lots of action. The tournament includes both men’s and women’s teams playing on the same day, which helps promote gender equality in cricket.
Many famous international players take part, making the matches competitive and fun to watch. The tournament starts with all teams playing each other in a group stage, and then the best teams move on to knockout matches, ending with a final to decide the winner.
The eight teams in The Hundred come from different major cities in England and Wales. Here they are:
