Hundred Ball Men’s

Match 6: MO vs LS

Preview

The sixth game of the Hundred BAll Men’s will be played between Manchester Originals and London Spirits. The Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester, United Kingdom will host the match on Saturday, August 5. 

Hundred Ball Men's is one of the latest formats in the cricket world and steps into the 3rd season. MO and LS have never won the Hundred title and they both lost their respective opening matches this season. Both sides are eager to get their first point on board in this match which will give a big boost going ahead into the league matches further. 

MO was set a mammoth target of 94 runs in just 40 balls after rain intervened in the match. Buttler and Holden had identical scores of 37 runs each after wickets of the first 2 balls. Paul Walter, Ashton Turner and Jamie Overton add depth to their batting attack. 

LO posted a competitive score of 131/10 in their 100 balls. London's top-order trio of Dan Lawrence (24 runs), Adam Rossington (39 runs) and Mathew Wade (39 runs) played good knocks to take them to 86/3 at the halfway stage. LO's middle-order batters failed and they eventually finished 10 runs short with just 131 on board.

Pitch Report

The surface at Emirates Old Trafford is a bit on the sluggish side, so the batters wanting to try out their selective shots will have to be patient at the beginning of the innings. Skipper winning the toss will probably choose to bowl first.

Match Prediction

MO batters have posted good totals with their players playing an attacking brand of cricket. Man Original's bowlers were taken for runs in the last game but are experienced to make a strong comeback. LO batters are struggling to convert their starts and rely heavily on their top order for big runs. Their bowlers performed well in the last match but were unlucky in the final balls. We expect MO to win this match.
