MANCHESTER ORIGINALS MEN FORM: ORIGINALS BLOWN AWAY BY BROOK
Manchester Originals at times looked well in the game away at Northern Superchargers, but Harry Brook quickly turned the screw to parachute the hosts to a total that would prove too high for the Originals to chase down despite the efforts of Matthew Hurst.
OVAL INVINCIBLES MEN FORM: SAM CURRAN STARS IN LONDON SHOWDOWN
All-rounder Sam Curran made Lord’s his playground on Sunday, scoring a crucial half-century against London Spirit, before taking a hat-trick and a five-wicket-haul with the ball in an eventual victory for Oval Invincibles. Arguably the best individual all-round performance in men’s Hundred history.
MANCHESTER ORIGINALS MEN BETTING ANALYSIS
When taking into account the disappointing nature of Manchester Originals’ batting line-up, exploring their bowling options may be the better play from a betting point of view. It would be no surprise if we saw some spin at Emirates Old Trafford, which would suit Usama Mir. The Pakistan international took two wickets at Headingley last time out and is worth backing to gain another 2+ in this one.
OVAL INVINCIBLES MEN BETTING ANALYSIS
We recommended looking at Sam Curran against the Spirit, specifically to take over 1.5 match wickets for what would’ve been the third consecutive game. Curran did just that, recording five overall, meaning he’s now picked up nine scalps across his last three appearances. The sensible move would be to keep riding the Sam Curran wave, specifically backing him to finish as Oval Invincibles’ top bowler.
MANCHESTER ORIGINALS MEN VS OVAL INVINCIBLES MEN EXPERTPREDICTION
Although this format of the game does lend itself to upsets, Manchester Originals face a huge task on their hands. Oval Invincibles boasts substantially superior batting depth compared to that of the hosts, who are far too over-reliant on the likes of Phil Salt. The bowling is more solid, but does lack world class, unlike their opponents.
The likes of Sam Curran, Adam Zampa and Spencer Johnson should be afforded plenty of joy against this fragile Originals batting order and are expected to lead Oval Invincibles to a comfortable victory at Emirates Old Trafford.
