THE LOWDOWN

MANCHESTER ORIGINALS

Manchester Originals are peaking at just the right time, which bodes well for them in their quest to go one better than last year and a win here could also see them leapfrog Oval Invincibles into top spot and book themselves a ticket straight to the Men’s Hundred final, providing Sam Billings’ side are beaten on Monday by Trent Rockets and the Originals win by such a distance that they overhaul the Invincibles on net-run-rate. When taking into account their current form, you wouldn’t put it past them.

SOUTHERN BRAVE

The equation is simple for Southern Brave, only victory at Emirates Old Trafford will give them any chance of qualification into the next round. They suffered a huge setback at the weekend after being narrowly beaten at home by league leaders Oval Invincibles by just eight runs. The Brave would have been quietly confident at the half-way stage having restricted Oval Invincibles to just 131/7 but a middle order collapse cost them dearly and they finished short despite the attempts of Tim David, who struck 44 from just 18 balls, including 5 sixes.

THE PREDICTION

When taking into account the batting performance of Southern Brave on Saturday, it’s hard to see them putting up a big score against a bowling attack of Manchester Originals’ quality, especially at Emirates Old Trafford. Just as importantly, all of the host batters look to be in good touch with Salt and Buttler both having recorded big knocks in recent fixtures. With that in mind, back Manchester Originals to pick up the points, eliminating Southern Brave in the process.

BETTING TIP: MANCHESTER ORIGINALS TO WIN
