Pitch Report:
While the first match at Old Trafford in Manchester, turned out to be a low-scoring affair, the venue is generally known to favour the batters in white-ball cricket. Winning the toss and opting to bowl first could be a good call as the pitch is expected to remain the same for the entirety of the match. With a target in front of them, the chasing team will have an advantage. However, the new ball could swing around upfront and the top-order batters will have to be wary.

MNR vs TRT Probable Top Performers
Probable Best Batter of the Match: Phil Salt
Manchester Originals’ captain Phil Salt missed out in the first game as he was dismissed for a two-ball duck. He has established himself as one of the most dangerous batters in modern-day cricket and will look to bounce back strongly in the forthcoming clash. If Salt gets off to a good start, Manchester will invariably get into a strong position because of how freely he scores when he is at the crease.
Probable Best Bowler of the Match: Fazalhaq Farooqi
The Afghanistan seamer was in scintillating form in last month’s T20 World Cup. Fazalhaq Farooqi is someone who can swing the new ball at good speeds and cause a lot of problems, especially for right-handed batters. His burst with the new ball will be crucial for Manchester.
