Match Details:

Date: Sunday, 17th August 2025.

Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester.

Start Time: 02:30 PM BST

Current Form:

Northern Superchargers

The Superchargers have been steady this season, winning three of their four matches so far. Sitting towards the top with 12 points and a positive net run rate of +0.617, they’ve shown balance in both batting and bowling. Big-hitting top-order performances from Crawley and Malan, supported by disciplined bowling from Imad Wasim and Adil Rashid, have been their hallmark.

However, they will be looking to tighten their death bowling, as a few overs under pressure have cost them momentum in past games. If their batting continues to click alongside the spin attack, they’ll be a strong playoff contender.

Manchester Originals

The Originals have had a rough start, managing just one win in four matches. With 4 points and the worst net run rate of -1.078, they’ve struggled to find consistency in both departments. Their batting, though experienced with the likes of Salt and Buttler, has been inconsistent, often leaving too much for the lower order to do.

Their bowling has leaked runs at crucial moments, putting them under scoreboard pressure. To stay in the hunt, they need a complete performance – strong top-order batting and tighter control from their seamers in the middle and death overs.

Batting Stats T100

Players to Watch:

Northern Superchargers

Zak Crawley – The standout performer for the Superchargers so far, Crawley has piled up 143 runs in 4 innings at a strike rate of 172.29. His aggressive approach at the top has yielded a highest score of 67, and his ability to clear the ropes regularly (15 sixes already) makes him a genuine game-changer.

Dawid Malan – Malan has been the anchor of the batting order, scoring 104 runs with one half-century to his name. He brings stability to the innings while still maintaining a quick scoring rate of 152.94, making him equally adept at steadying the ship or accelerating when required.

Jacob Duffy – In just two innings, Duffy has shown why he’s the No.1 ranked T20I bowler. He has taken 5 wickets at an average of 11.40 and a miserly economy rate. His right arm seam-up will be crucial when it comes to stopping the Originals batters in their tracks.

Manchester Originals

Phil Salt – Salt has been one of the few consistent contributors for the Originals, scoring 135 runs at a healthy strike rate of 139.18. Known for his fearless hitting, he has the ability to dismantle bowlers in the powerplay, setting the tone for the innings.

Jos Buttler – The skipper and a proven match-winner, Buttler has scored 125 runs at a strike rate of 134.41 this season. While he hasn’t produced a big knock yet, his experience and ability to accelerate at any stage of the game make him a constant threat.

Scott Currie – With 8 wickets in 4 innings, Currie has been the Originals’ best bowler this season. His strike rate of 8.7 and economy under 8 show his knack for taking wickets while keeping the scoring rate in check, making him a key weapon in the middle and death overs.

The batting has gotten significantly harder at Manchester as the trends suggest- which is a main reason why they are struggling despite a star studded lineup of Jos Butler, Phil Salt etc.

Just like in the Women’s Hundred, bowling spin here hands you a massive advantage, not only are spin bowlers economical, they also strike more often and go for less runs per wicket.
