Manchester Originals vs Southern Brave Predictions

This will be a tightly fought knock-out game but for me the Southern Brave have the edge after beating the Originals just a few days ago. The two batsmen to keep and eye on are Jos Buttler and Devon Conway.

Manchester Originals have won 3 of their last 4 matches.
Manchester Originals’ Jos Buttler has scored 75 & 45 runs in his last 2 matches.
Southern Brave beat Manchester Originals in their last match.
Southern Brave have won 3 of their last 4 matches.
Southern Brave’s Devon Conway scored 54* runs in his last match.

Head to Head

Each side has won once against each other with another game washed out. Crucially though, the Brave beat the Originals by six wickets just a few days ago.

Manchester Originals Form

The Manchester Originals finished second on The Hundred table, winning four of their eight matches. They had one no-result and three defeats.

The Originals had a good end to their campaign, winning three of their final four games. Their one defeat came in their last match against the very same opponents, Southern Brave.

Batting first, Jos Buttler top scored with 45 runs but the total of 130 was not enough in the end. The Brave won by five wickets with five balls to spare.

Manchester Originals Injuries & Team News

The Originals are very reliant on Jos Buttler and Phil Salt at the top of the order. I don’t see them making big changes to their side though.

Southern Brave Form

Southern Brave had an identical record to their opponents in the round-robin stage of The Hundred. Won four, one no result and three defeats but finished third on net run rate.

The Brave were in a must-win situation in their last round-robin match against the Originals as they would have been knocked out. Fortunately, they bowled well, restricting the Manchester outfit to 130 runs.

Devon Conway took control with the bat in the run chase, scoring an unbeaten 54 runs to secure a six-wicket win.

The Southern Brave are likely to stick with the same side.

Verdict

Manchester Originals v Southern Brave - The Hundred

I am backing the Southern Brave to win. I am also backing Devon Conway to top score for the Southern Brave.

Jos Buttler is a good bet to top score for the Manchester Originals.
