Cricket Free Tips | The Hundred Men’s 2021, Match 9: Manchester Originals vs Northern Superchargers

In the Men’s Hundred, the Manchester Originals and Northern Superchargers will face off in Manchester on Wednesday evening. The host team lost their first game against the Oval Invincibles but rebounded back with a 6 wicket triumph over Birmingham Phoenix. So far, the Northern Superchargers have fallen to the Welsh Fire and the Trent Rockets.

Any short format team would be without Jos Buttler, but Manchester Originals have a lineup full of big-hitting batsmen. Most opposition will be defeated if Callum Parkinson bowls as he did on Saturday.

Ben Stokes’ leadership will be missed by the Northern Superchargers, although he has not made a significant contribution with bat or ball. A first win is not far away if Chris Lynn’s Adam Lyth can contribute alongside Harry Brook.

Weather
The weather forecast predicts a few showers and thunderstorms. There’s a good chance that rain will ruin the day.

Pitch
Birmingham Phoenix was bowled out for 87 in the first innings of the penultimate Hundred match at Old Trafford, resulting in a low-scoring contest. With 27 balls to spare, the Originals chased down the total. A similar pitch is a forecast, with scores in the 130s possible.
