The Hundred is a professional franchise 100-ball cricket tournament involving eight men’s and eight women’s teams located in major cities across England and Wales. The tournament is run by the England and Wales Cricket Board and took place for the first time in July and August 2021.
In the enthralling journey of The Hundred 2023 men’s edition, fans eagerly await the 10th match, pitting the Manchester Originals against the Birmingham Phoenix. The grand clash is slated for Monday, August 7 at the iconic Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester.
A brief glimpse into the teams’ recent performances reveals Manchester Originals facing challenging times. A rain intervention left their previous match against the London Spirit inconclusive. With just one point under their wing due to a washout and a previous loss, they occupy the bottom-most position in the standings.
Birmingham Phoenix, too, had their previous face-off with Trent Rockets spoiled by rain. Positioned sixth on the leaderboard, they’ve secured two points from two washouts. Captained by the dynamic Moeen Ali, Phoenix harbors hopes of sealing their first triumph this season. In contrast, the Originals, eager to brush off the aftermath of their initial loss, are equally motivated to mark a victory.
