The Hundred Men’s 2023 Most Runs and Most Wickets standings: Sam Hain and Chris Jordan take lead – Updated after Match 1

The much-awaited Hundred 2023 competition kicked off on Tuesday (August 1). The opener saw the teams Trent Rockets and Southern Braves lock horns with each other.

In the tournament opener, the Trent Rockets batted first and managed to compile a total of 133 runs from 100 balls on the cards. This looked like a relatively attainable target for the Braves to chase down.

Sam Hain's astonishing knock of 63 played an important role in reaching the Rockets' score, whereas, the Braves' bowlers, Chris Jordan and Craig Overton, made a pivotal impact by taking three and two wickets, respectively.

Nevertheless, what looked like a modest target to chase became tough for the Brave batters. The Rockets' bowlers showed excellent skills, efficiently containing the run flow and restricting the opponents to 127 runs in 99 balls.

The efforts of Daniel Sams and Lewis Gregory were outstanding, as they picked up three-wicket hauls each. Unluckily, none of the Braves batters could manage to reach the 30-run mark, making it challenging for them to reach the target set by the Rockets.
