Manchester Originals Preview

Manchester Originals made a strong comeback in the second game after losing the first one against Oval Invincibles. With 3 points from 3 matches, they are at 3rd place in the points table and will try to beat Welsh Fires to be in the top 2. Although they bowled well in the first match to restrict Oval Invincible on 145 runs with the help of Fred Klassen’s 3 wickets for 23 runs and Tom Hartley’s 2 wickets for 24 runs, they failed to chase down the target as their middle order collapsed terribly in front of Oval’s bowling.

In the next match against Birmingham Phoenix, they made a solid comeback to an all-out opponent just on 87 runs. Matt Parkinson dismissed top-notch t20 specialists of the opposite squad by bowling a brilliant spell of 4 wickets for just 9 runs. Carlos Brathwaite also took 2 wickets for 13 runs to help Parkinson. Manchester won that game by 6 wickets. The overall team is looking very strong with a super spin attack as well as good death bowling strength in their squad. They will try to execute their whole squad’s strength in this game against Welsh Fires on 31st July to take a place in the top 2.

Key players for Manchester Originals: Jos Buttler, Colin Munro,  Fred Klassen, Matt Parkinson.

Manchester Originals Predicted Playing XI:

Phil Salt, Jos Buttler (c, wk), Joe Clarke, Colin Munro, Tom Lammonby, Calvin Harrison, Carlos Brathwaite, Tom Hartley, Fred Klassen, Steven Finn, Matt Parkinson.

Venue Details

Sofia Garden in Cardiff will host this match. This ground is one of the prime grounds in England and has a capacity of 15000. The ground has conducted a few international games as well as it is mainly used for domestic purposes.

Toss: To Bowl

This ground has not conducted any game of this new format of the game previously but conducted 8 T20I matches. This ground is mainly used for domestic purposes like Vitality Blast and County Championship. The pitch favors batters, and it’s easy to chase the targets on this ground. At this location, whichever team wins the toss will want to bowl first.

Both teams have good strength in the bowling department so batting skills will be the source of a win in this game. Welsh Fires are mostly dependent on their opening and middle-order batting lineup where Jonny Bairstow and Ben Duckett are performing well, on the other hand, Manchester’s middle order is struggling in this new format and that might help Welsh Fires to beat Manchester Originals.
 

We predict that Welsh Fires will defeat Manchester Originals.
