Two high flyers of The Hundred will finally meet at Old Trafford when James Vince’s side Southern Brave will travel away from home to take on Carlos Brathwaite’s Manchester Originals. Both the sides have notched up victories in their last two games and hence have made this fight interesting considering that one of them will lose their winning run.
With Buttler performing national duties, West Indian Brathwaite has taken over the reins at Originals while Devon Conway’s injury has forced him to be replaced by Irishman Paul Stirling.
So in this battle of the heavyweights, the team winning it would also go on top of the Points Table.
Match Number- 19
Date and Time: 05 August, 2021, 11:00 pm IST, 06:30 pm Local, 05:30pm GMT

The pitch at Old Trafford has surprisingly been spin-friendly as the English summer has progressed. Therefore, another pitch where Matt Parkinson could utilise all his abilities might be waiting for the travelling Southern Brave.
According to BBC Weather, there are more than 50% chances of precipitation at the time of play at Old Trafford. However, the showers would remain light, so hopefully, audiences would be able to have a match at their hands.
