This July, The Hundred played out in typical high-octane fashion. Eight teams, fast-paced 100-ball format, and no room for wasted deliveries. NV Play was part of the action, helping seven teams turn historical and live match data into a powerful tool for preparation and performance.
In a competition like The Hundred, where momentum can shift in a matter of minutes, having the right information at the right time can make a real difference.
This year, NV Play was proud to support Trent Rockets Men and Women, as well as Birmingham Phoenix Men and Women, Welsh Fire Men and Women and MI London Women, with the historic and real-time data they needed to compete.
Historical data meets match-day insight.
To succeed in high-level competition, you need to be able look backwards as well as forwards. With NV Play, teams had access to legacy data from previous Hundred matches. So they could identify patterns and uncover insights to inform their preparation and strategy.
In a competition as unique as The Hundred, that context is particularly valuable. Because with just 100 balls in an innings, every phase of the game carries weight.
Data that moves with the game.
Historical analysis is only one part of the picture. During matches, NV Play provided real-time, ball-by-ball coding, giving players and administrative teams access to data as the action unfolded. That means information doesn't have to wait until the end of the match to become useful.
In a fast-paced competition, that immediacy translates into a genuine competitive edge. It creates a direct link between the action on the field and the data behind it, helping teams work with a more complete view of performance throughout the match.
A Hundred to remember for Trent Rockets
For Trent Rockets, access to this combination of historical and live data proved valuable resource throughout the competition. And the results speak for themselves.
The women’s team took home The Hundred trophy, while the men’s side made it to the final against Manchester Super Giants. Both teams also topped the men’s and women’s combined standings, becoming the first-ever winners of The Hundred Helix.
For NV Play, it was a chance to play a small part in an outstanding campaign – and to demonstrate how high-quality cricket data can become a practical tool for teams, both during matches and across an entire tournament.
“From the NV Play team to the Trent Rockets, well done on an incredible campaign," says Fairbairn. "We were proud to be able to play even a small supporting role in these outstanding results."
