The Hundred is a professional cricket competition in England, with separate women’s and men’s tournaments. Its matches use a short format in which each team has 100 balls to score runs, so play is designed to be quicker than traditional cricket.
London Spirit and Sunrisers Leeds are teams in the women’s competition, and Katie George and Dani Gibson are players for the sides. Fielders try to stop the batting team scoring; a ball hit over the boundary usually earns six runs, making boundary fielding an important part of the game.
The competition brings professional women’s cricket to venues around England and is part of the sport’s efforts to reach a wider audience. Moments of athletic fielding can affect the score and draw attention to the skill involved in the format.
