The sixth edition of the Hundred Men's competition is set to commence on Tuesday with the competitive clash between MI London and Sunrisers Leeds at The Oval. Mumbai Indian (formerly Oval Invincibles) will head into the tournament as defending champions, having clinched the title last year after beating Trent Rockets by 26 runs in the final at Lord's.
