The Hundred Women’s, 2021, Match 24, Manchester Originals vs London Spirit, Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match?

Preview

Manchester Originals and London Spirit are set to lock horns in the 24th match of the Women’s Hundred on Tuesday, at the Old Trafford in Manchester. The Originals won their maiden game against the South Brave on August 5, but they are still placed at the bottom of the points table.

The next game is a crucial one for them since a win will take them to the fifth spot. The Spirit, on the other hand, are placed at sixth in the table and can’t afford to drop a match.

After a three-match losing streak, they beat Northern Superchargers in their previous outing and that should keep them in good stead.

Pitch Report

The pitch in Manchester has been a tad tricky for the batter to deal with. The track isn’t expected to change much in nature and batting first should be the way forward for both teams. An overly high-scoring match doesn’t seem to be on the cards.

Probable best batter of the match

Heather Knight— London Spirit

Heather Knight is amongst the decorated cricketers in England, but she has had her travails in the Hundred. In five matches, the right-hander has notched. 111 runs at an average of 22.20 and a strike rate of 123.33. She has registered a top score of 40 thus far and would want to get his maiden half-century in the next outing.

Probable best bowler of the match

Deepti Sharma— London Spirit

Deepti Sharma hasn’t been at her best with the bat in hand, having scored only 32 runs from four games with a top score of 28. But with the ball in hand, she hasn’t flattered to deceive. The off-spinner has picked up six wickets and is the leading run-scorer for the Spirit in the tournament. She needs to be on top of her game.

Today’s match prediction: London Spirit to win the match.
