Like cricket? Then you’re going to love this.

This August is going to be very exciting for all cricket fans as they can watch tapmad's 'The Hundred' series live on multiple OTT platforms within Pakistan.

For those who don’t know, The Hundred is an action-packed, unmissable, 100-ball cricket competition that will leave cricket fans glued to their seats. It features world-class players and big industry names from all over the world.

Eight teams for men and women each will go head-to-head over the summer.

How it works

Here's a complete lowdown of what's in store for players:

• The game will include 100 balls per innings, meaning every ball will be crucial

• Whoever scores the most runs wins

• The fielding side change ends after 10 balls

• Bowlers deliver either five or 10 consecutive balls based on the captain’s decision

• Each bowler can deliver a maximum of 20 balls per game

• Each bowling side gets a strategic timeout of up to two and a half minutes. The coach can walk out to the middle of the ground and discuss tactics with their players during timeout.

• A 25-ball power play is given to each team

• The power play is the first 25 balls of the innings

• Two fielders are allowed outside of the initial 30-yard circle during the power play

The men’s competition begins August 3, 2022 while the women’s competition begins on August 11, 2022. The final will be taking place on September 3, 2022.

Eight new teams were created for The Hundred, which include:

• Birmingham Phoenix

• London Spirit

• Manchester Originals

• Northern Superchargers

• Oval Invincibles

• Southern Brave
