The Hundred is an annual cricket tournament featuring fast-paced matches between teams. The format creates exciting, closely contested cricket where matches are often decided by narrow margins.
Sunrisers Leeds and Southern Brave are two teams competing in this year's tournament. In cricket, matches are won or lost through batting, bowling and fielding – how effectively a team prevents their opponents from scoring runs.
Fielding moments often receive less attention than batting and bowling highlights. However, in tight contests, a single outstanding fielding intervention can alter an entire match, making excellence in the field just as crucial as other aspects of the game.
