After three-and-a-half weeks the fourth edition of The Hundred has reached the knockout stages.

There's been some disappointing performances with defending women's champions Southern Brave winning just one game, but men's holders Oval Invincibles are through to the final again.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of the final two games in each competition.

When is The Hundred final?

The final in each competition takes place on Sunday, 18 August at Lord's.

Welsh Fire are through to the women's final after topping the group, while Oval Invincibles are into the men's.

Before that, though, there's the Eliminator on Saturday to decide who they will face. The winner progresses to the final, with the loser knocked out.

Here's the schedule for the weekend:

Saturday, 17 August

Women's Eliminator: Oval Invincibles v London Spirit, The Kia Oval (14:15 BST)

Men's Eliminator: Birmingham Phoenix v Southern Brave, The Kia Oval (18:00 BST)

Sunday, 18 August

Women's final: Welsh Fire v TBC, Lord's (14:15 BST)

Men's final: Oval Invincibles v TBC, Lord's (18:00 BST)

How can I watch and follow The Hundred final?

Both finals on Sunday are live on BBC Two and the BBC iPlayer. The coverage starts at 14:00 BST and runs until 21:30.

The women's Eliminator between two-time winners Oval Invincibles and London Spirit is also live on BBC Two and iPlayer on Saturday.

There will be ball-by-ball radio commentary on all four games on BBC Sounds, BBC Radio 5 Sports Extra and the BBC Sport website and app so you can't miss a thing, whether you're at home or on the move.

The website and app will also have live text commentary with in-play video clips of all the best moments.

Who are the past winners of The Hundred?

The women's competition was won by Oval Invincibles in 2021 and 2022 before Southern Brave, who had lost the first two finals, claimed the 2023 title.

The men's tournament has been won by three different teams: Southern Brave in 2021, Trent Rockets in 2022 and Oval Invincibles in 2023.
