The newest format introduced by England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), The Hundred, is set to commence from today (July 23) among Men and Women. It is the fourth edition of the tournament and it remains to be seen if Southern Brave will be able to defend their title this time around. Eight teams will continue to compete like every year and a total of 26 matches will be played for next 26 days.
As many as three Indian Women cricketers will take part in this edition of the competition and they are - Smriti Mandhana, Deepti Sharma and Richa Ghosh. However, all of them are currently featuring in the ongoing Women's Asia Cup in Sri Lanka and will miss the first week of The Hundred. While Smriti will feature for the defending champions Southern Brave, London Spirit has signed all-rounder Deepti Sharma. Wicketkeeper-batter Richa will turn up for Birmingham Phoenix this season.
Northern Superchargers were the runners up last time around as they lost to Southern Brave in the final marred by rain by 34 runs. However, this time around, they will be keen on going one step further and lift the trophy.
