Cricket Free Tips | The Hundred Men’s 2021, Match 24: Manchester Originals vs London Spirit

Manchester Originals and London Spirit will face off at Emirates Old Trafford. The home team has had two games cancelled due to weather, the most in the Men’s Hundred, yet they are still in fourth place, two points behind the leaders. The London Spirit are the only side in either the Men’s or Women’s competitions to have never won a game.

Manchester Originals might easily be at the top of the Men’s Hundred table if the weather improves. They have a strong lineup and will be confident in their prospects in this game.

Zak Crawley and Dan Lawrence, who are currently on England service, have missed the London Spirit. They will be competitive if their veteran batting lineup can deliver.

Weather
Birmingham’s weather is forecast to be a little gloomier. The temperature will range from 12~20°C. There’s a reasonable risk of rain in the morning, but it should clear up by the evening.

Pitch
Old Trafford’s pitch is a two-paced affair with something for everyone. The spinners were able to have an effect because of the grip on the surface. Because of the cloudy weather, batters must be cautious when playing their shots.
