Series Overview
The Hundred 2022 saw Trent Rockets win the Men's competition in a tense 2-wicket final over Manchester Originals at Lord's. The Rockets, based at Trent Bridge in Nottingham, had been consistent throughout the tournament and deserved their title. Dawid Malan's technically orthodox batting at the top of the order had been the platform from which the Rockets launched their attacks. In the final, Rockets chased down Manchester's total with 2 wickets to spare in what proved to be a genuinely close and exciting contest. The second edition of The Hundred continued to attract major names from world cricket — Joe Root made his debut in the competition, bringing Test cricket's most celebrated batter into the franchise arena for the first time. Manchester Originals' squad featured Jos Buttler in formidable form but their brilliant batting wasn't matched by bowling consistency when it mattered most. The Women's competition was won by Oval Invincibles for the second consecutive year, confirming their dominance of the women's game in this format.
