TEAMS PREVIEW
Manchester Originals Preview
After going all the way to the final before losing to the Oval Invincibles in the 2023 Men's Hundred, Manchester Originals have had to wait nearly 11 months to get back into the middle and right the wrongs. This will be their first opportunity to do so!
With the bat, Jos Buttler hit the most runs of any player in the tournament last year and he followed that up with a strong showing in the 2024 Indian Premier League and in the 2024 T20 World Cup. Alongside him at the top of the order will be Phil Salt who pulverised the West Indian bowling attacks in December in white ball matches.
Manchester Originals have an excellent bowling attack who will prioritise taking wickets to stopping runs being scored.
Manchester Originals Predicted Playing XI:
Jos Buttler (c), Phil Salt (wk), Wayne Madsen, Max Holden, Paul Walter, Sikandar Raza, Jamie Overton, Tom Hartley, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Mitchell Stanley, Sonny Baker
Manchester Originals Actual Playing XI:
Sikandar Raza, Josh Hull, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Wayne Madsen, Paul Walter, Jamie Overton, Usama Mir, Max Holden, Philip Salt, Tom Hartley, Scott Currie
Welsh Fire Preview
Welsh Fire had become something of a joke in English cricket over the first two seasons of the Men's Hundred but they finally managed to string some wins together in 2023, although it still wasn't quite enough to break into the top three.
Still, they finished the tournament with back to back wins and have assembled a fine looking group of batters and bowlers all of who have significant experience and success in the shortest formats.
Look out for Jonny Bairstow and Tom Kohler-Core at the top of the order for Fire with David Willey likely to chip in with valuable contributions in both innings alongside David Payne and Jake Ball using the pace in the pitch to good effect.
Welsh Fire Predicted Playing XI:
Jonny Bairstow (c), Tom Kohler-Core (wk), Joe Clarke, Stephen Eskinazi, Glenn Phillips, David Willey, Ben Green, Roelof van der Merwe, David Payne, Jake Ball, Mason Crane
Welsh Fire Actual Playing XI:
David Payne, Tom Kohler Core, Thomas Abell, Jake Ball, Joe Clarke, David Willey, Glenn Phillips, Jonny Bairstow, Luke Wells, Mason Crane, Joshua Little

Moderate ScoringPace Bowling

Minimal Turn
Old Trafford has long been one of England's fastest pitches and we saw some big hitting during the Men's Hundred and the Men's Ashes here last year. There will be turn for the spinners but whoever bats first will be targeting a total of 180+.
Toss: To Bat
This pitch is unlikely to deteriorate across this match so we expect both captains to go out to the middle and want to get first use of the pitch and to post a big total.
MCR vs WEF
Winning Prediction
Both of these teams will be eyeing up the knockout stages of this year's tournament and they certainly have the pedigree of player with both bat and ball to do so. We are predicting a home win with their opening pair of England white ball international batters doing some damage.
