Season-by-Season Breakdown of Every Final
Each edition of The Hundred has delivered unique storylines. Below is a season-wise look at every men’s final.
2021: Southern Brave Win the Inaugural Title
Southern Brave became the first-ever The Hundred men’s champions after beating Birmingham Phoenix by 32 runs at Lord’s on August 21, 2021.
Captain James Vince’s squad posted 168/5 on the back of a blistering 61 off 36 balls from Paul Stirling, who earned the Player of the Match award.
Ross Whiteley added crucial runs in the middle order. In response, Phoenix lost early wickets and never recovered, despite Liam Livingstone’s explosive 46 off 19 balls.
A smart run-out by Tim David caught Livingstone short and effectively sealed the game. Phoenix finished at 136/5.
Livingstone won the Player of the Series award for an exceptional tournament that included 348 runs and five wickets across all matches.
Southern Brave entered the final on a seven-match winning streak, and their death-bowling duo of Chris Jordan and Tymal Mills conceded just 21 runs combined from the final 20 deliveries.
2022: Trent Rockets Edge Past Manchester Originals
The 2022 final on September 3 was the closest in the tournament’s history. Trent Rockets chased down Manchester Originals’ 120/9 with just two balls to spare.
Sam Cook was the hero with the ball, tearing through Manchester’s top order with 4/18 from 20 balls. His performance remains one of the best bowling displays in any Hundred final.
Cook and spinner Samit Patel (3/23) strangled the Originals’ batting lineup. Still, the chase turned out to be far from straightforward.
With 11 needed off the final set of five balls, captain Lewis Gregory smashed Richard Gleeson for a six and a four to get Rockets over the line.
Dawid Malan won the Player of the Series award after topping the tournament’s run charts with 377 runs at an average of 53.85.
Notably, defending champions Southern Brave crashed to seventh in the standings, proving how competitive the league had become by its second year.
2023: Oval Invincibles Claim Their Maiden Crown
On August 27, 2023, Oval Invincibles beat Manchester Originals by 14 runs in what turned out to be the night Tom Curran produced one of the greatest rescue acts in franchise cricket.
The Invincibles slumped to 34/5 early in their innings. Originals’ bowlers, led by Richard Gleeson (2/37), had them on the ropes.
Then came a remarkable partnership. Tom Curran smashed an unbeaten 67 off 34 balls, while James Neesham contributed 57 not out off 33. Their record 127-run stand for the sixth wicket turned the game completely.
Manchester Originals could manage only 147/6 in response, with Will Jacks (2/11) breaking the backbone of the chase.
Jamie Overton won the Player of the Series for his all-round contributions of 202 runs and three wickets throughout the tournament.
2024: Oval Invincibles Defend Their Title
Oval Invincibles successfully defended their crown on August 18, 2024, beating Southern Brave by 17 runs at Lord’s. This made them the first team to win back-to-back Hundred titles.
Batting first, the Invincibles posted a modest 147/9. Will Jacks top-scored with 37 off 22 balls, but Brave’s bowlers kept things tight.
The game turned on a devastating spell by Saqib Mahmood. He returned figures of 3/17 from 20 balls, claiming three wickets in the space of just seven deliveries.
Brave’s top order of Alex Davies (35) and James Vince (24) gave them a solid start, but Mahmood’s burst derailed the middle order and the chase fell apart.
Sam Curran won the Player of the Series with a remarkable double of 201 runs and 17 wickets across the tournament. That kind of all-round dominance is almost unheard of in 100-ball cricket.
2025: Invincibles Complete a Historic Three-Peat
On August 31, 2025, Oval Invincibles cemented their dynasty with a 26-run demolition of Trent Rockets in the final. Three titles in a row is a feat matched by very few teams across global franchise T20.
Will Jacks lit up Lord’s with 72 off 41 balls, including seven fours and two sixes. His knock set the tone as the Invincibles posted 168/5.
Jordan Cox chipped in with a composed 40 off 28, and Sam Curran added a quickfire 15 off 10 with two sixes to keep the scoreboard ticking in the death.
In the chase, leg-spinner Nathan Sowter ripped through the Rockets’ top order. He claimed three wickets in seven balls, dismissing Joe Root, Rehan Ahmed, and Tom Banton in quick succession.
Marcus Stoinis fought hard with 64 off 38, but Rockets were always behind the required rate and finished at 142/8.
Jordan Cox earned the Player of the Series award after scoring 367 runs across the tournament.
2026: Manchester Super Giants Win Maiden Title
Manchester Super Giants won their first-ever The Hundred men’s title by defeating Trent Rockets by five wickets at Lord’s on August 16, 2026.
Trent Rockets posted 158/8 from their 100 balls, with Aneurin Donald scoring 38 off 19 balls and Lewis Gregory making 32 off 16. Noor Ahmad was the pick of the Manchester Super Giants bowlers with three wickets.
Manchester Super Giants chased down the target of 159, finishing the innings with two balls remaining. Tim Seifert played the match-winning innings, smashing 72 off 38 balls to guide his side to their maiden Hundred trophy.
The 2026 triumph also gave Manchester Super Giants their first title since the franchise was rebranded from Manchester Originals.

Players Who Have Crossed 1,000 Runs in The Hundred
As of the end of The Hundred 2025, five batters have crossed the 1,000-run mark in the men’s competition. This is still a small and exclusive club.
| RANK | Player | Team(s) | Matches | Runs | Fifties | Best Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Phil Salt | MO / MAN | 43 | 1,138 | 7 | 88 |
| 2 | James Vince | SB | 44 | 1,083 | 8 | 90* |
| 3 | Will Jacks | OI | 42 | 1,065 | 5 | 108* |

| 5 | Ben Duckett | NS / BP | 38 | 1,014 | 6 | 92 |
Phil Salt became the first male player to reach 1,000 runs in The Hundred during the 2025 season while playing for Manchester Originals.
Liam Livingstone sits just outside this list at 996 runs. He should comfortably cross the mark in the 2026 edition.
Why Oval Invincibles Dominated The Hundred
Winning three straight titles was no accident. Several factors set Oval Invincibles apart from the rest.
Squad Continuity and Leadership
Captain Sam Billings kept the core group together for all five seasons. Continuity is rare in franchise cricket, where rosters shuffle every year.
Coach Tom Moody brought IPL and international coaching experience. Billings himself credited the approach to Chennai Super Kings’ model of retaining a stable core.
Match-Winners Across Departments
Sam Curran delivered with both bat and ball every season. In 2024 alone, he managed 201 runs and 17 wickets. Will Jacks was their explosive opener, while Jordan Cox emerged as the reliable middle-order anchor in 2025.
Adam Zampa and Nathan Sowter provided consistent spin options, and Saqib Mahmood added pace and bounce when it mattered most.
Topping the Group Stage Consistently
The Invincibles finished first in the group stage in all three of their title-winning years. This gave them a direct route to the final, meaning fresher legs and less pressure compared to the Eliminator route.
The Hundred Men’s Final: Runners-Up Record
Manchester Originals hold the unwanted record of two final losses (2022 and 2023). Meanwhile, Southern Brave won in 2021 but lost as runners-up in 2024.
Here is a look at every runner-up and how they fell short.
| Year | Runner-Up | Lost To | Margin |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | Birmingham Phoenix | Southern Brave | 32 runs |
| 2022 | Manchester Originals | Trent Rockets | 2 wickets |
| 2023 | Manchester Originals | Oval Invincibles | 14 runs |

| 2025 | Trent Rockets | Oval Invincibles | 26 runs |
| 2026 | Trent Rockets | Manchester Super Giants | 5 Wickets |
What Changed in The Hundred 2026?
The 2026 edition marks a major turning point for the competition. Private investors, many with IPL backgrounds, have bought stakes in all eight franchises.
Team Rebranding
Three teams now carry new names after ownership changes:
• Oval Invincibles are now MI London (Reliance Industries, owners of Mumbai Indians, acquired a 49% stake)
• Northern Superchargers are now Sunrisers Leeds (Sun Group, owners of Sunrisers Hyderabad, acquired 100% ownership)
• Manchester Originals are now Manchester Super Giants (RPSG Group, owners of Lucknow Super Giants, acquired a 70% stake)
The remaining five franchises (Birmingham Phoenix, London Spirit, Southern Brave, Trent Rockets, Welsh Fire) retain their original names.
First-Ever Player Auction
An IPL-style player auction now replaces the old draft system. The inaugural auction took place in London on March 11-12, 2026, with women’s and men’s auctions on consecutive days.
Teams can now include four overseas players per squad, up from three in previous seasons. Men’s salary pots have risen by 45% to approximately £2.05 million per franchise.
2026 Schedule
The sixth edition ran from July 21 to August 16, 2026. The tournament opens with a double-header at The Kia Oval, featuring MI London vs Sunrisers Leeds. Lord’s hosted Finals Day on August 16.
How The Hundred Format Works
For readers unfamiliar with the format, here is a quick breakdown of The Hundred’s rules.
• Each team faces 100 balls per innings (not 20 overs). Bowlers deliver sets of five or ten consecutive balls from one end.
• Eight teams compete in a round-robin group stage. The top-placed team goes directly to the final.
• Teams finishing second and third meet in an Eliminator. The winner then faces the top team in the final.
• Lord’s Cricket Ground in London hosts every final. A strategic timeout break is also built into each innings.
If scores are tied at the end, a Super Five tiebreaker decides the winner rather than a traditional Super Over.
The competition was launched by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) in 2021, designed to attract newer audiences to cricket with a shorter, faster format.
Final Thoughts: Manchester Super Giants Join The Hundred Winners List

Oval Invincibles remain the most successful side with three consecutive titles from 2023 to 2025, while Manchester Super Giants became the latest champions after defeating Trent Rockets by five wickets in the 2026 final at Lord’s.
