The second edition of The Hundred is almost upon us, with men's defending champions the Southern Brave beginning their title defence on Wednesday night (August 3) against Welsh Fire in Southampton.
The Fire finished seventh in the group stages last year and Gary Kirsten's side will be bidding to better that performance this time out, while reigning champions in the women's event - the Oval Invincibles - will return to defend their title.
With many of the women's players currently in the Commonwealth Games, the women's competition starts on August 11. That means women's and men's matches will be played on the same day, in the same location, one after the other from that date.
