Match Details

The 10th game of The Hundred League in 2023 is set to take place on Monday, August 7th, between Manchester Originals and Birmingham Phoenix. The exciting match will be held at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester.

Match Overview

As of this edition of The Hundred League, Manchester Originals have struggled to find their footing as the least-performing team. After playing two matches, they are yet to secure a victory, with one match ending in a loss and the other yielding no result. As a result, they currently occupy the bottom spot on the points table.

Similarly, Birmingham Phoenix has also faced challenges in securing a win, despite playing two matches. Unfortunately, both of their games were disrupted by rain and ended with no result. There’s a possibility that one of Birmingham Phoenix’s matches may be rescheduled and played at a later date to ensure fairness and completion of the fixtures.

Manchester Originals Reviews

In the latest encounter, Manchester Originals faced off against London Spirit, but the match ended without a decisive result. Previously, in their first match against Welsh Fire, they experienced another rain-affected game, shortened to 40 balls per side. Unfortunately, their bowling unit had a tough time as they conceded 94 runs in those 40 balls. Joshua Little emerged as the standout bowler, claiming two wickets in his 10-ball spell, conceding 22 runs. Tom Hartley managed to pick up one wicket but gave away seven runs in five balls. Regrettably, the rest of the bowlers struggled to make an impact and ended up leaking plenty of runs.

Josh Tongue, Paul Walter, and Usama Mir were unable to pick any wickets. Tongue was expensive, conceding 25 runs in just 10 balls, while Mir gave away 13 runs in five balls. When it came to batting, Manchester Originals couldn’t quite rise to the occasion, managing to score only 85 runs in their chase of 95. Skipper Jos Buttler was the standout batsman, making 37 runs off 18 balls with two boundaries and three massive sixes. Max Holden also contributed 37 runs off 18 balls, smashing seven boundaries. However, key batsmen Laurie Evans and Philip Salt failed to even open their accounts on the scoreboard.

Given the weather conditions, there’s a possibility that their upcoming matches could also be affected by rain.

Birmingham Phoenix Reviews

The initial match of Birmingham Phoenix against Northern Superchargers ended without a result, and their most recent game against Trent Rockets was abandoned without a single ball bowled. Moeen Ali serves as the regular captain of Birmingham Phoenix and will lead the team once again in this tournament. While their batting order may not be exceptionally strong, Birmingham Phoenix has managed to select some of the finest batsmen known for their prowess in shorter formats of cricket.

Ben Duckett will be responsible for anchoring the batting order, accompanied by Liam Livingstone and Will Smeed. In the wicketkeeping department, Chris Benjamin and Jamie Smith will be instrumental. The team has also made wise choices in the selection of batting and bowling all-rounders, with Benny Howell, Jacob Bethell, and Chris Woakes serving as the batting all-rounders, while Shadab Khan, Miles Hammond, and Henry Brookes take on the role of bowling all-rounders.

Birmingham Phoenix boasts a selection of top-tier bowlers, but there are doubts about their ability to perform optimally against the strong batting lineups of this tournament. Adam Milne, Kane Richardson, Tom Helm, and Dan Mousley are key bowlers for the team. Both teams will undoubtedly need some luck to see their matches through to completion, considering the unpredictable nature of the weather and other factors.

Pitch Report

The 10th match of The Hundred League 2023 is set to take place at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester. Based on observations from previous matches at this venue, it has been noted that the pitch favors batsmen, although it tends to slow down and assist spinners as the game progresses. As the match unfolds, we expect the surface to become even slower, posing a challenge for batsmen. Chasing a target of 185 runs is likely to be a tough task in this particular game.

Weather Report

The weather forecast for Manchester indicates some cloud cover on the match day, but there is no prediction of rain. Therefore, we anticipate a full and uninterrupted match to be played.
