The Hundred Men’s Tournament is back in England and Wales. It will witness the participation of eight city-based teams – Birmingham Phoenix, London Spirit, Manchester Originals, Northern Superchargers, Oval Invincibles, Southern Brave, Trent Rockets, and Welsh Fire. A total of 34 games (including playoffs) are scheduled to take place from August 5th to 31st across multiple venues in the country.

The Hundred is a fast-paced, 100-ball cricket tournament introduced by the England Cricket Board (ECB) to revolutionize the game for a new generation. It stands as the shortest officially recognized format, after T20Is, test matches, and ODIs.

Below, I’ll set out The Hundred Tournament futures, followed by my pick and best value bet to win The Hundred 2025.

The Hundred Men’s Tournament Odds

The Oval Invincibles, champions in both 2023 and 2024, are favored in The Hundred odds at +330, giving them a 23.26% implied win probability. The Oval Invincibles are followed closely by the Southern Brave at +400 (20%), who won the first edition of the tournament in 2021, and the Manchester Originals at +500 (16.7%).

The Trent Rockets (+700), London Spirit (+1000), and Welsh Fire (+1400) are the longshots, and it’s justifiable given their form and performances over the years in the league. However, the tables can turn this season if they manage to hold their nerves in pressure situations.

Past Winners of The Hundred Men’s Tournament

The inaugural edition of The Hundred in 2021 saw Southern Brave emerge as the champions under the leadership of veteran batter James Vince. Meanwhile, the Lewis Gregory-led Trent Rockets were the winners in 2022. 

Sam Billings captained the Oval Invincibles to a title victory in the last two seasons, and it will be interesting to see whether they can continue their dominance in the premier tournament. 

The Hundred Men’s Tournament Best Picks & Value Bets

The two-time defending champion Oval Invincibles have a lot to offer in terms of their bench strength in both batting and bowling departments. With the batting order having so much firepower and big names in the lineup including Will Jacks and Jordan Cox – they will have to reinitiate their duties to score big and give their best as they have done in the previous seasons to take their team home, and you can certainly trust them as your top batter picks in the games. Cox was the top batter for the team in the last edition with 214 runs in seven appearances, while Jacks garnered 156 runs in nine games.

Among the bowlers, Sam Curran and Rashid Khan are the two key players who will have their say in every game with the twist of their arms. In the 2024 edition, Curran scalped 17 wickets (including a hat-trick) and scored 201 runs in nine games.

Rashid played for the Trent Rockets last season and bagged nine wickets in five games, with best figures of 4/24. The inclusion of the Curran brothers (Sam and Tom) is a major part of the Invincibles team, as they both tend to contribute with both bat and ball in the crucial junctures of the match. 

Talking about my differential pick and a good value bet, Manchester Originals are packed with ace players for the upcoming season. They have been extremely close to winning the title a couple of times and a fantastic turnout this year should make them eye the trophy with +500 odds and have a sure shot on it. 

If you’re in the market for an affordable risk, the Birmingham Phoenix and Northern Superchargers are the ones to keep your eyes on. Both teams have an experienced squad and enough hard-hitters to establish themselves on the big stage.
