Neither/none

Hi! everyone Please tell me,did I use "neither" and "none" right in the below sentences?
(Actually these two sentences are related to cricket)
1-Neither of these teams player has scored a hundred(there are two teams thats why I used "neither")
2-None of these three teams player has scored a hundred.
Please tell me,are these sentences right? And also how should I say this?
Thanks!

Thanks for answering but I think you didn't notice that I wrote "team's player" not the team alone.What I meant to say was
not only a single player of team scored a hundred. Can you please take a look at that again?
Thanks!

Well, if you want to talk about the individual players I don't think you will be able to use "neither", at least not without an awkward and potentially confusing construction.

Here are a couple of suggestions:
"None of the players on either of these teams has scored one hundred runs." (The case of two teams)
"None of the players on any of these teams has scored one hundred runs."

Sir! Could I ask why did you use "have" in above shouldn't it be "has"?
