Due to women's cricket's participation in the ongoing 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, The Hundred Women's 2022 contests will begin on August 11. And as a result, the second edition has undergone certain alterations.
This year, each team will only play six games, two fewer than the men's eight games. They won't play two games against their closest rivals and won't face one team either. However, women's cricket players will earn a 100% pay boost this season, and their prize money will be equal to that of males. Meg Lanning, Alyssa Healy, and Ellyse Perry, key international talents who were absent last season, will play this time.
The Oval's opening game will feature Northern Superchargers vs the Oval Invincibles. And on September 3, the final game is slated to take place at Lord's. The bulk of English players are expected to participate in every game this season, although fans will miss Heather Knight, the captain of the England Women's team, who is unable to compete because of a hip injury.
Teams: Oval Invincibles (The Oval), London Spirit (Lord’s), Welsh Fire (Cardiff), Northern Superchargers (Leeds), Manchester Originals (Old Trafford), Southern Brave (Southampton), Trent Rockets (Nottingham), Birmingham Phoenix (Birmingham).
