As Oval Invincibles begin their title defence, players such as Ellyse Perry can help the competition to match its 2021 success
And so it returns, with all its high-summer razzmatazz. The men have been at it for a week already, but after a short delay due to the Commonwealth Games, the second edition of the women’s Hundred will get under way on Thursday at the Kia Oval, with the defending champions, Oval Invincibles, going head-to-head against Northern Superchargers.
There will be live music. There will be fireworks. There will be coverage on the BBC (seven women’s matches this year), building up to a final at Lord’s on Saturday 3 September.
