After One Day Internationals and T-20 have changed the character of cricket, pushing the test cricket to the backyard, new format of cricket is evolving. It is ‘The Hundred’. As the name suggests, each team plays a hundred balls and it is expected to complete in 65 minutes.
It allows a new set of rules. Two sets of five balls each are to be bowled before the ends are changed. A bowler can bowl two successive sets of five balls without changing the ends or he can change the ends. The first 20 balls will constitute the power play. Two points are awarded for a win one for the drawn match.
English Cricket Board or the ECB organises the competition and this is the third year. A total of 68 matches will be held, each side will have to play eight games, at least two with the locals. Those who finish at the top of the table will advance to the final to be played at the Lods. If there is a tie at the knockout level, the Super-5 will be played- five balls for each side.
