The Hundred Men's 2023, Match 31, Manchester Originals vs Southern Brave: Probable XIs, Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, Live Stream
The Manchester Originals will square off against the Southern Brave in the 31st match of the Men’s Hundred 2023 Competition at the Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester on Wednesday.
The Manchester Originals are on the brink of qualifying for the final. They have nine points to their name and a win in their last league game will see them make it to the knockout stages of the competition. They beat the Northern Superchargers comprehensively in their last game.
Skipper Jos Buttler led the charge with the bat as the Originals posted 164 on the board. Calvin Harrison then picked up a fifer, giving away only 11 runs in his 20 balls as they knocked over the Superchargers on 83 to win the game by 81 runs.
The Southern Brave, meanwhile, are in a must-win territory after managing to triumph in only three games out of seven. They will have to win their last game by a big margin to keep their final hopes alive. They lost to the Oval Invincibles in their previous fixture.
Chris Jordan grabbed three wickets to help the Brave restrict the Invincibles to 139/7. What followed was a disappointing performance with the bat in hand. Tim David, lower down the order, tried hard and scored 44* but it wasn’t enough as they fell short of the target by eight runs.
