03 Why live tracking matters here
The Hundred is the fastest format in the game. A 100-ball innings runs about 65–70 minutes, which means:
- Scoring swings fast — a side can go from 40/2 to 80/2 inside 20 balls
- Wickets shift momentum — every dismissal removes a set batter
- Hitting comes in bursts — miss five minutes and you miss the acceleration
- The toss and first 25 balls often decide it
Live tracking lets you follow those swings from first ball to last.
