Tournament: The Hundred Women | Format: 100-BALL | Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester | Toss: To Bowl
Bet NowBoth the sides, Manchester Originals and Northern Superchargers played two games in this tournament. While The Superchargers won both the matches, the Originals failed to win, even on their home turf on Sunday against Birmingham Phoenix. For Northern Superchargers, Jemimah Rodrigues shone in the first two matches against Trent Rockets and Welsh Fire with two consecutive half-centuries. She won the player of the match award on both occasions.
For the Originals, Lizelle Lee (42 runs) and Kate Cross (3 wickets) were good in the opening match, but not good enough for the Invincible skipper Dane van Niekerk. Against Birmingham Phoenix, their batting debacle cost them two more points, as they lost by 20-runs while chasing 113 runs. While Superchargers wish to continue their winning streak, the Originals batters and bowlers need to work harder at Old Trafford for their first win.
The Originals must be nervous to mark their first win. Despite a solid score of 135 runs in the first game against Oval Invincibles, their bowlers failed to limit the free-flowing runs from Dane van Niekerk and lower order batters of the opposite side. Though the skipper Kate Cross shone with the ball, taking 3 wickets from 18 deliveries, she along with Emma Lamb and Harmanpreet Kaur proved slightly expensive. Eventually, they lost it just with 2 balls remaining. In the second game against Birmingham Phoenix, the efforts of Sophie Eccleston (2 wickets for 14) and Emma Lamb (3 wickets for 16) gave their batters a humble target of 114. Though, the collapse in the top-order and lower-middle order caused the match to slip away from the Originals once again.
Only Harmanpreet Kaur batted well for her 49 runs. Lizelle Lee and Harmanpreet Kaur are the key players for Originals, as far as batting is concerned. Lamb can play a vital role as an all-rounder, while Ecclestone and the skipper Kate Cross are the key bowlers. Lizelle Lee has scored 1782 T20I runs at an average of 25.09, including a century. Sophie Ecclestone has got 64 T20I wickets from 45 games, and her economy is 5.89.
Key Players: Lizelle Lee, Emma Lamb, Sophie Ecclestone

Northern Superchargers are indeed charged up with two consecutive wins, and at the Old Trafford, they are looking for a hat-trick. In the first game against Welsh Fire, Linsey Smith led the bowling unit with 3 wickets, while Katie Levick and Alice Davidson-Richards took two wickets each. Jemimah Rodrigues (92 not out) played a solid inning right at the top while chasing 131. In the second match against Trent Roekcts, Rodrigues scored her second half-century. She was instrumental in two fifty-plus partnerships, with Winfield-Hill first, and then with Laura Kimmince, giving the opponents the target of 150. Eventually, they won the match by a comfortable margin of 27 runs.
Jemimah Rodrigues has scored 152 runs from just 2 games in the tournaments with unbeaten 92 runs in the first match against Welsh Fire and 60 in the second against Trent Rockets. She is the key batter for the Superchargers, with 976 T20I runs. Alice Davidson-Richards has been promising with the ball, with four wickets in this tournament so far. Katie Levick has got four wickets Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy, and she can prove to be quite handy.
Key Players: Alice Davidson-Richards, Katie Levick, Jemimah Rodrigues
Lauren Winfield-Hill (c, wk), Jemimah Rodrigues, Laura Wolvaardt, Hollie Armitage, Bess Health, Alice Richards, Laura Kimmince, Linsey Smith, Elizabeth Russel, Phoebe Graham, Katie Levick.
On the match day, the maximum and minimum temperatures would be 16°C and 11°C respectively, with a wind speed of 13-19 kmph. Intervals of clouds and sun with a couple of showers and a thunderstorm can be expected.
The venue for this match is Old Trafford in Manchester having a capacity of 19000. It has a rich history, as it has hosted 82 Test matches so far. In the 1999 ICC World Cup, nearly 22000 people in the stadium watched the match between India and Pakistan.
Old Trafford has hosted 11 T20 games so far, from which only twice the teams batting first have won, and 6 times the chasing teams succeeded. The average first and second innings scores are 151 and 130 respectively. The highest score chased here is 199. Chasing seems a more viable option here. Hence, it is recommended to bowl first after winning the toss.
From Manchester Originals’ perspective, the wicket of 20-year-old star performer Jemimah Rodrigues is vital as she has been the deciding factor in her previous matches. Manchester Originals’ batting lacks the intent and depth in contrast to the Northern Superchargers overall batting unit. The Superchargers are the favourites to win here despite it being their away game. Though the forecast is very poor and rain may spoil the game.
We predict that Northern Superchargers Women will defeat Manchester Originals Women unless rain washes the match completely.
