The Hundred Men’s 2025: Top 3 player battles to watch out for in match 17

The 17th match of The Hundred Men’s 2025 will see the Manchester Originals take on the Northern Superchargers at Old Trafford, Manchester on August 17.

With just one victory from four games, Manchester Originals are still at the bottom of The Hundred Men’s 2025 points standings. This game against the Northern Superchargers could turn things around for them since they have been having a terrible time finding rhythm.

They have played three games and won two of them against the Northern Superchargers. They are in fourth place in the points table with eight points.

Here are the top 3 players’ battles to watch out for in match 17 of The Hundred Men’s 2025:

1. Phil Salt vs Imad Wasim

Phil Salt has been scoring runs at the rate of knots for the Manchester team, despite their overall poor performances. Salt has shown his array of shots in the four matches he has played and has destroyed both the spin and pace.

The best way to have a chance at keeping him silent might be employing a spinner right at the start, and Superchargers have the best in Imad Wasim. Wasim has built his T20 career bowling with the new ball and will take the ball into and away from Salt.

2. Jos Buttler vs Adil Rashid

This is a battle of two England veterans and best players in the shortest format. Jos Buttler has done well to score 125 runs in four games and has hammered both pacers and spinners at the top. He has also kept well, but his bat has done the talking most of the time.

The Superchargers have the best weapon in Adil Rashid to counter Buttler. Rashid has played for more than a decade with Buttler for England and knows him in and out which could give his team the advantage. However, Buttler also knows Rashid well and can cause some serious damage, making this a mouthwatering battle.

3. Harry Brook vs Scott Currie

Scott Currie has taken the most wickets for Originals with eight scalps in four games, with the best of 4/28. He has shown that he can move the ball off the pitch and has the variations to trouble the best.

Meanwhile, Harry Brook has 94 runs with a strike rate of 154.09 and has given the impetus to their innings in middle orders. He has the best abilities to counter the dangers Scott Currie possesses.
