The second edition of the newest format of cricket, The Hundred, kicked off on Wednesday (August 4) at Southampton. The inaugural season of the league was a big hit last year, recording huge crowds and viewership numbers.

The overlookers were hooked on the new and unique concept of the tournament, which differs from T20 cricket as it comprises 100 deliveries per innings.
The England power-hitter Liam Livingstone was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the men’s tournament last year as he topped the run charts with 348 runs and also achieved the highest individual score with an unbeaten 92 against Northern Superchargers.
However, the Lancashire cricketer couldn't help his franchise Birmingham Phoenix clinch the tournament title as Southern Brave got the better of them in the Summit Clash.
“It was amazing to be a part of, considering we started the tournament not knowing what it was all about. I guess the way it snowballed throughout the summer was pretty cool," Livingstone said.
