The Hundred is not a 20-over template. Set-piece bowlers, match-ups at the death, and who actually bats through a chase matter more than a copied IPL-style XI. PickXI makes each of those roles exclusive between two players.
How a Hundred 1v1 works
Draft before the first ball, score live, no entry fee, no prizes. Pair it with T20 Blast in the English summer. How to play · Scoring rules.
Roles under a clock
A 100-ball innings is short. If you freeze on the timer, you can lose the one spinner who bowls at the death in Manchester or the opener who owns the powerplay in Lord’s conditions. Traditional fantasy still lets both of you pick them. See PickXI vs traditional fantasy.
Roles to lock in The Hundred
- Set-piece bowling — five-ball sets change who you deny first.
- Powerplay striking — a short innings punishes missing the opener who actually faces the new ball.
- Death specialists — only one XI can own the bowler who closes a 100-ball chase.
