Manchester Originals vs Birmingham Phoenix Team Preview

Manchester Originals

Although Manchester Originals played well in both games, they haven’t yet won a match in the competition. They will always be a difficult team to defeat with Jos Buttler at the top of the order.

No one in the Manchester Originals squad can claim exhaustion after just batting for 80 balls on Saturday when the match was called off due to rain. The players will be disappointed that they have yet to win, and we expect the same group to be selected for this game.

Birmingham Phoenix

Birmingham Phoenix has yet to participate in a finished match in the competition this season. They do have some extremely talented white ball players, though, and they’ll be ready to go in this game.

The weather has been a major source of frustration for the Birmingham Phoenix players and fans thus far in The Hundred 2023. Moeen Ali should return to captain the team in this match, as was predicted before the previous rain-out.

Manchester Originals vs London Spirit outfield report

Old Trafford

Both teams are comfortable batting and fielding first, but we believe the Originals and Phoenix captains will prefer to field first if they win the toss.

The temperature is expected to drop from 18 degrees to 15 degrees in Manchester on Monday evening, making for a cool evening.

Although this pitch always offers excellent pace and bounce, the bowlers should be able to take advantage of the moisture in the wicket after the recent heavy rain.
