The Hundred Men’s 2025: Predicting Manchester Originals XI for match 12

The Welsh Fire and Manchester Originals will clash in match 12 of The Hundred Men’s 2025 tournament at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on August 13.

Manchester Originals have played three games so far in The Hundred and have lost two of those. After losing their opening two matches to Southern Brave and Oval Invincibles, Originals finally got onto the points table with a 10-run win over London Spirit. The Manchester team would want to continue winning ways.

Here is the predicted Manchester Originals XI for match 12 of The Hundred Men’s 2025.

Top Order: 

Phil Salt, the captain, plays aggressively and has excellent tactical awareness. With a best of 60, he has amassed 132 runs so far. Ben McKinney, who scored 29 points in his only appearance, will complement Salt with his youthful vigor and steady skill. As an aggressive hitter and wicketkeeper, Jos Buttler has amassed 68 runs thus far, with a top score of 46. He gives the team fast runs and dynamic finishing skills.

Middle Order:  

Despite his hitting ability with the bat, Heinrich Klaasen has only scored 45 runs in two games. Mark Chapman has been similar with 52 runs at a strike rate of 148.65 in two games. Lewis Gregory balances bowling support and batting depth with his all-around skills. The trio is essential for boosting scoring in the middle overs or stabilising innings following early wickets.

Lower Order:  

Scott Currie offers significant pace and wicket-taking abilities and has five wickets so far. Noor Ahmad has not yet reached his peak performance. However, he adds control and variation, frequently limiting runs during pivotal moments. Both provide valuable lower-order batting that can be used to add runs late in games or prolong innings.

Bowlers:  

The bowling unit of the Originals blends swing, pace, and variation. Josh Tongue contributes seam movement and control, as evidenced by his three wickets, while Farhan Ahmed provides accuracy and run-controlling ability. Sonny Baker is also a handy bowling option. He was named Player of the Match in the previous game.
