Tournament Overview
Series Overview
The Hundred 2023 produced the competition's first double-winning franchise: Oval Invincibles lifted both the Men's and Women's titles in the same summer. The Men's team, led by inspirational captain Sam Billings and powered by Jamie Overton's all-round brilliance, beat Manchester Originals in the final at Lord's. Tom Curran's match-winning bowling display in the final was instrumental. Overton — the big Surrey seamer who had emerged as one of England's finest T20 practitioners — won the Player of the Tournament award for a campaign that had been consistently excellent from ball one to the last. Manchester Originals, with the mercurial Sam Curran in their ranks, had seemed likely finalists throughout but couldn't find the winning performance when it mattered most. The 2023 edition confirmed the third season had ironed out many of the format's early teething issues — The Hundred was now unambiguously one of England's premier sporting events, with Lord's sold out for the final and national broadcast audiences growing year on year.
