The Hundred 2024

Tournament Overview

Series Overview

The Hundred 2024 became a pivotal moment in English cricket history — both for what happened on the field and what was set in motion off it. On the field, Oval Invincibles became back-to-back champions, defeating Southern Brave by 17 runs in the final at Lord's. Saqib Mahmood's pace in the closing stages proved decisive, restricting Brave's chase. The Invincibles had been the most consistent team throughout the tournament, combining quality overseas signings with English talent at its best. Off the field, 2024 was the final season before the ECB's landmark decision to sell stakes in all eight Hundred franchises to international investors — a move that would bring IPL and global franchise money into English domestic cricket. Cricket South Africa, Mumbai Indians, and other global brands would take ownership of teams from 2025 onwards. The 2024 season was played with the original eight teams in their original identities — a moment of tradition before transformation.
