The Hundred Men’s Competition of 2021 will finally begin today after years of planning and months of anticipation. The Oval Invincibles will face the Manchester Originals in the first game of the tournament.
The two teams have some outstanding cricketers on their rosters, all of whom have played T20 cricket before. Manchester Originals will rely on players like Jos Butler, Colin Munro, and Carlos Brathwaite. On the other hand, the Oval Invincibles will be led by the Curran brothers, Jason Roy and Sunil Narine.
Weather
Fans will be pleased to see crystal clear skies for the match, with temperatures are forecast to range from 18 to 26 degrees Celsius. It should be possible to play the entire game without being interrupted.
Pitch
The Kennington Oval has traditionally been a batsman’s paradise, with short boundaries. However, as the game progresses, bowlers and spinners will benefit from the surface. For the team batting first, anything between 160 and 170 should suffice. Teams who win the toss should bat first in this situation.
