The 18th match of The Hundred League 2022 is scheduled to play between Southern Brave and Manchester Originals on Thursday, 18th August 2022 at The Rose Bowl, Southampton.

Southern Brave is the second worst performing team of this season of The Hundred League 2022 right now. They had won just one out of four matches played. They had lost three matches and are laying at the second position from the bottom of the points table. They have to win the next matches to have some chances to move forward to the next level of this tournament. On the other side, Manchester Originals are the other side who had not been impressive in this tournament so far. They had played four matches with just one win to their name. They had lost three matches and are holding 6th position on the points table. Major today’s prediction providers are favoring MOS to win this match and we also agree with this.

Southern Brave was beaten by Oval Invincibles in their most recent match by the margin of seven wickets. The performance of their batting order was not very good. They scored 137 runs on 100 balls inning. Stoinis was the highest run-scorer from their side who scored 37 runs on 27 balls with the help of two boundaries and the same huge sixes. Tim David was the other batter who was just good with the bat. He scored 27 runs while he faced 17 balls and smashed three boundaries during his inning. Ross Whiteley scored 18 runs for the skipper, and J Vince had 15 runs to his name.

The performance of the bowling department of Southern Brave was also not impressive in the previous match. They failed to defend a low target of 138 runs on the board and leaked this target in 82 balls. George Garton, Michael Hogan, Marcus Stoinis, James Fuller, Rehan Ahmed, and Jake Lintott are the leading bowlers of this team. James Fuller was the only successful bowler from their side with one wicket to his name in 20 balls against 22 runs. George Garton also picked one wicket in the previous match.

Manchester Originals had won their most recent match against Welsh Fire after losing three matches in a row. They were beaten by Trent Rockets by the margin of eight wickets. The way how their batting order performed in the previous match was just outstanding. They scored a total of 189 runs and they were on the losing side.

The skipper, Jos Buttler was also good with the bat. He scored 71 runs while he faced 25 balls and smashed three boundaries and two huge sixes.

Tristan Stubbs scored 27 runs while Laurie Evans remained not out after scoring 26 runs. Manchester Originals lost the previous match due to the worst performance by their bowling department.

The big names of the shorter format of cricket like Fred Klaassen, Sean Abbott, Tom Hartley, Paul Walter, Matthew Parkinson, Andre Russell, and Tristan Stubbs are leading the bowling department of this team and these all bowlers had failed to give the best performance. Matthew Parkinson and Tom Hartley picked one wicket each while no other bowler from their side could manage to pick any wicket.

The 18th Match match of The Hundred League 2022 is going to be held at The Rose Bowl, Southampton. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 185 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Southampton is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
