Men's Hundred 2024

Match 11: SOB vs MNR

Preview 

The Southern Brave and Manchester Originals face a crucial clash on Thursday, August 1, in the 11th game of the current Hundred Men's Competition 2024. Both teams are languishing toward the bottom half of the tournament standings. It is a must-win clash for both these sides to remain in contention.

Manchester Originals are sitting 7th on the points table, losing their opening two matches, with no wins registered. They, therefore, become desperate for that 2-point win, which would keep them in with the chance of finishing inside the top half of this table.

The Southern Brave, however, lie in 4th place with one win and one loss so far. The victory in this fixture would help them climb a few places up in the league standings.

This promises to be an intense, competitive encounter, with both teams under pressure to win and improve positions. The Brave will be looking to push on from last time out, while the Originals desperately need to open their account and get their campaign running. Great expectations are held for this encounter between these two teams seeking an important advantage in the middle of The Hundred tournament.
