Tournament Overview
Series Overview
The Hundred 2023 delivered a memorable men's final: Oval Invincibles beat Manchester Originals at Lord's to claim their first men's title. The team, led by captain Sam Billings and powered by Jamie Overton's all-round brilliance, were dominant throughout. 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. Manchester Originals, with Sam Curran in their ranks, had seemed likely finalists throughout but couldn't find the winning performance when it mattered most. On the Women's side, Southern Brave won their first Women's Hundred title — beating Northern Superchargers by 34 runs with Danni Wyatt-Hodge's 59 off 38 the standout innings. The 2023 edition confirmed the third season had ironed out many early teething issues — The Hundred was now one of England's premier sporting events, with Lord's sold out for Finals Day and national broadcast audiences growing year on year.
