The Hundred is a cricket competition in England and Wales, with separate men’s and women’s tournaments. Each innings has 100 balls, and teams try to score more runs than their opponents.
Welsh Fire and Southern Brave are two of the women’s teams. Their season results determine their positions in the table and which teams progress to the later stages, so a defeat can affect the competition at the top.
