In the second match of The Hundred Men’s Competition 2025, Manchester Originals will lock horns with Southern Brave at Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester.
Manchester will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing last season. The Originals, who finished second to last in the previous campaign, have a new look and will be hoping for a fresh start with a strong batting lineup. They will be led by captain Phil Salt and will rely on players like Jos Buttler to provide some explosive starts.
Meanwhile, the Southern Brave will be aiming to go one better this season. With a well-rounded squad that includes the likes of the tournament’s leading run-scorer from last year, James Vince, and a strong pace attack featuring Chris Jordan and Tymal Mills, they pose a serious threat.

Old Trafford Pitch Report:
The pitch at Old Trafford is a balanced one for T20 cricket, offering something for both batters and bowlers. It’s a surface where the ball comes onto the bat nicely, rewarding confident strokes and allowing for big scores. Fast bowlers who can hit the deck hard and use cutters effectively will find some success, while spinners will become more of a threat as the match wears on and the surface begins to grip. The key for batters will be to get themselves in and then capitalize, as there are runs to be had. With both teams having quality players, we can expect a competitive and entertaining game.
