Cath Keers, Sage’s Chief Marketing Officer, commented:

The Hundred is a tournament with rich data at the heart of its decision-making, from drafting players to in-game analysis.

Fast accurate decision making powered by deep insights is how we help business flow for our customers. The partnership is an exciting opportunity to share the power of data with a global audience of cricket fans and communities around the UK.

We’ll bring this partnership to life over the coming months and years making sure our colleagues, customers and communities all benefit with access to tickets and experiences, content and promotional opportunities.

Rob Calder, Commercial Director, The Hundred, added:

As a global leader in supporting small and mid-sized businesses with data-driven decision making, Sage is the perfect partner to power our Decision Review System this summer, and The Draft from next year. We look forward to working with Sage as we get ready for another huge summer for The Hundred.

Sage and The Hundred also plan to launch a new content series focused on the use of data and insights into the 100-ball tournament.
