The Hundred always causes a stir in the English summer because the schedule is already overcrowded, and many purists are moving away from this new format, but the truth is that the competition brought in a new generation of cricket fans, who are constantly entertained by this tournament. Old Trafford has hosted a few of the most famous sporting events over the centuries, but on Thursday, it will be more of a party, with boundaries and wickets expected to flow once more. Some among the cleanest-hitting batters in English cricket will be on display for Manchester Originals and Welsh Fire, so do not be surprised if there are many sixes across this fixture in Manchester on Thursday evening.

The venue has long been one of England’s fastest pitches, and we witnessed some explosive hitting during the Men’s Hundred and Men’s Ashes here last year. The spinners will have their turn, but whoever bats first will aim for a total of 180 or more.
Although the evening is not expected to be as sunny or warm as the previous days, it will still be very humid, with temperatures above 20 degrees for the majority of the game.

Both of these teams will be looking to advance to the knockout stages of this year’s tournament, and they certainly have the players with both bat and ball to do so. We predict a home victory, with their opening pair of England white ball global batters causing some damage. Considering the team combination, Manchester Originals are expected to win this match.
