100-ball cricket

100-ball cricket is a short form of cricket designed to attract new audiences to the game with simplified rules, which was originally created by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for its comparatively new city-based competition The Hundred. For statistical purposes it is designated as a Twenty20 competition.

The 100-ball game has two teams each having a single innings, which is restricted to a maximum of 100 balls, and the match lasts approximately two and a half hours, shorter than the Twenty20 format.

Before the launch of the professional The Hundred competition in July 2021, the 100-ball format was trialled in several amateur local leagues across England.
