Manchester Originals are favorites to win
With both teams having lost three from three so far in the tournament, this game between Manchester Originals and Welsh Fire at the Emirates Old Trafford carries particular importance. The Originals are currently above Welsh Fire due to having a marginally better net-run-rate. Read on as we preview Match 16 of the 2022 Men’s Hundred. The match gets underway at 18:30 local time.
Manchester Originals put in a strong batting performance in their last game but could not dislodge Dawid Malan when bowling. If they can post another big total then they will be competitive in this match.
Although they only lost by four runs, Welsh Fire will be just as disappointed as they were after their previous defeats. Losing has become a habit for this side and it is hard to shake it off.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Cricket and BBC.
The Hundred 2022 Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on SkyGo, the BBC iPlayer and the FanCode App.
There will be a temptation to throw caution to the wind and to choose to bat first for both sides. However, they will both know that they can get back into this tournament and will want to field first.
We saw a hat-trick at Emirates Old Trafford in the Women’s Hundred game on Saturday. Expect to see plenty of turn off the pitch in this match.
The temperature will be dropping from the early 20s to the high teens during this fixture. There is also an outside chance of some rain interrupting play.

In spite of a 52 run defeat against London Spirit last Monday, the Originals picked the same XI for their closer defeat against Trent Rockets. Permitted there are no injuries in the camp, which we currently believe there not to be, we expect to see the saem XI selected.
Manchester Originals have clocked up five successive defeats in the Men’s Hundred but did look more threatening in their last defeat.
Jos Buttler (c), Phil Salt (wk), Andre Russell, Tristan Stubbs, Laurie Evans, Wayne Madsen, Paul Walter, Sean Abbott, Tom Hartley, Fred Klaassen, Matt Parkinson
Ryan Higgins and Ollie Pope were both left-out before the fixture against Birmingham Phoenix. Pope, due to England’s up-coming Test against South Africa, with Higgins seemingly rested after picking up two wickets against Oval Invincibles. We like the look of the bowling attack from the last game and do not expect any changes.
Welsh Fire have had to contend with Jonny Bairstow missing The Hundred 2022 and Ben Duckett receiving a Lions’ call-up but they have been unable to win a game.
Joe Clarke (wk), Tom Banton, Sam Hain, Ben Duckett, David Miller, Josh Cobb (c), Dwaine Pretorius, Adam Zampa, David Payne, Jake Ball, George Scrimshaw
With neither side making the knockout stages in the 2021 tournament, they have only met once before. Manchester Originals won by seven wickets with Joe Clarke, now of Welsh Fire, top scoring.

The bookmakers seem to think that Welsh Fire’s problems are worse than Manchester Originals’ and are backing the Originals to win this game.
Both teams have spent plenty of time scratching their heads during their exploits so far in the tournament. However, there are some fantastic white ball batters on display and they should all be winning more games than they lose.
We are backing Jos Buttler, Phil Salt and Laurie Evans to be the top batters for Manchester Originals. Evans hit his highest score of the tournament in the last match.
Joe Clarke, Tom Banton and Ben Duckett are our tips with the bat for Welsh Fire. Clarke has scored two ducks already in the competition but sandwiched them with an encouraging 37.
Matt Parkinson, Sean Abbott and Andre Russell are our picks with the ball for Manchester Originals. Russell dismissed the dangerous Adam Lyth on this pitch two games ago.
Our choices with the ball are Jake Ball, David Payne and Adam Zampa for Welsh Fire. England international, Payne, took 2-12 from his 15 balls against Birmingham Phoenix.
Losing runs always come to an end at some point and this game will do just that for one of these teams, or both if the rain intervenes! Welsh Fire came within five runs of winning their last match but we do expect Manchester Originals to get the win and to be too strong in this match.
