The Hundred Oval Invincibles is a franchise 100-ball cricket side based in South London.
The team represents the historic counties of Surrey and Kent in the newly founded The Hundred competition,[1] which took place for the first time during the 2021 English and Welsh cricket season.
The announcement of the new eight-team men's and women's tournament series in 2019 was not without controversy, with the likes of Virat Kohli criticising the England and Wales Cricket Board for pursuing a shift away from Test cricket,[2] while others argued the format should have followed the established and successful Twenty20 format.
The ECB however decided it needed a more unique format to draw crowds.
The women's side had been due to play at the County Ground in Beckenham, one of the outgrounds of Kent County Cricket Club, but both teams were brought together at the same location as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
