Today's MNR vs NOS Dream11 match top picks
Wicket-keeper
Phil Salt: An explosive opener by trade, Phil Salt will be critical to the Manchester Originals' chances, especially in the absence of Jos Buttler. Expect Salt to go all guns blazing in the first 25 balls!
Batsmen
Colin Munro: Colin Munro has blown hot and cold for the Originals so far. With a promotion in order for the southpaw, Munro could well be in for a big outing at Old Trafford.
Harry Brook: Perhaps the breakout star of The Hundred so far, Harry Brook has upped his game for the Northern Superchargers. Comfortable against both pace and spin, Brook ought to be a popular pick in today's MNR vs NOS Dream11 contests.
All-rounders
David Willey: With Ben Stokes departing for English Test duties, David Willey is set for a big role in the Northern Superchargers' set-up. Given his ability to swing the ball upfront, Willey could back his explosive batting ability with a few wickets with the new ball.
Carlos Brathwaite: Carlos Brathwaite has enjoyed a big summer with Warwickshire in the T20 Blast with 18 wickets in 11 games. Given his recent form and the nature of the pitch, Brathwaite is a must-have in your MNR vs NOS Dream11 team.
Bowlers
Matt Parkinson: Young Matt Parkinson has already turned heads with his clever leg-spin for England and the Manchester Originals. The youngster will be key in the middle overs given the amount of turn on offer at Old Trafford.
Adil Rashid: England's lead spinner Adil Rashid hasn't really hit his groove with the ball for the Northern Superchargers. With favorable conditions on offer, Adil Rashid could be in for a big performance against the Originals.
