This article will talk about the probable XIs for both teams and continue with the Dream11 predictions and the winning fantasy team for Match 19 of “The Hundred” between Manchester Originals and Southern Brave that is scheduled to take place on the 5th of August 2021.
The Manchester Originals who are in the 2nd spot with 2 wins and 1 loss in the first 4 games will be hosting the Southern Brave who is on 7th with the same number of wins but they have lost 2 games.
Southern Brave now has won 2 games in a row after losing their first 2 in this competition. The last 2 games of Southern Brave were rather close and they won them both, especially their previous game. Batting first against the Spirit’s, the James Vince-led side managed to post only 145 and it was largely due to Alex Davies’ 40-ball 50 and Quinton De Kock’s early blitz of 27 from 14. Defending a below-par total of 146, the Spirit’s openers hammered 68 in just 27 balls but a middle-order collapse allowed the Brave to sneak in and earn a 4-run win.
Their opponent’s Originals had a relatively comfortable win over the Welsh Fire in their last game. On a batting track at Cardiff, the Originals managed to keep the home side to 150 in the first innings thanks to Tom Hartley who took 2/11 from his 15 balls. A blistering start from the bat of opener Joe Clarke who made 58 from 31 always kept them ahead in their chase of 151. In the end, the experience of Colin Munro steered them home with 5 balls to spare and by 7 wickets.
Match Details
Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester
Pitch and Weather: Old Trafford is a high-scoring venue. But the first match at the venue offered plenty of assistance to spinners and 2nd was washed out due to rain. This could be the case in the 3rd game at this venue as well. The first innings score was just 87 and we may see a similar kind of total in this match too.
The weather forecast is not good for this game. It is expected to rain throughout the day and we may see rain hampering the game. Temperatures are expected to be around 14-15C during the course of the game.
Date and Time: August 5, 2021, 7.00 PM Local, 11.30 PM IST
Probable Playing XIs
Machester Originals won the last game but the likes of Colin Munro and Joe Clarke came good with the bat in the last and helped the team to get home comfortably chasing 151. Tom Hartley bowled splendidly with the ball and is one of the reasons why they kept the opposition to 150.
The Southern Brave won the game in a close finish in their last game but would want to score much more than what they did against the London Spirit on Sunday.
Both teams will play with the same team that won their respective last game.

James Vince (capt), Devon Conway, Quinton De Kock(wk), Alex Davies, Colin de Grandhomme, Ross Whiteley, Liam Dawson, George Garton, Chris Jordan, Jake Lintott, Tymal Mills

Match Prediction
Southern Brave has won 2 in 2 but the Original’s playing at their home ground makes them favorites to win their 3rd game of the tournament.
Fantasy Tips
Batsmen: Colin Munro of Manchester can be picked and he scored a match-winning knock in the last game. He is a dangerous T20 batsman who can score big when in full flow. Joe Clarke scored a stunning 58 in the last game which made it easier for the Originals to get home and the 3rd batsman can be Brave’s captain James Vince has scores of 60, 40 in 2 of his knocks and is been in exceptional form.
Wicket-keepers: 3 wicket-keepers can be picked in the fantasy team from either team. From Southern Brave, the experienced Quinton De Kock can be picked along with Alex Davies who scored a 50 in the last game. Phil Salt from Manchester is the 3rd keeper on the side.
All-rounder: Chris Jordon can be the lone all-rounder in the side as he can contribute with the bat as well to go with his wicket-taking ability.
Bowlers: Steven Finn has shown he is still a lethal bowler. His teammate Matt Parkinson can be picked as the surface is likely aid spinners and he has also picked 5 wickets from 3 games. Tom Hartley and J Lintott can fill the other 2 slots.
Captaincy Choices
Fantasy Team: James Vince(C), Colin Munro, Phil Salt, Joe Clarke, Quinton De Kock, Alex Davies, Mark Parkinson(VC), Chris Jordan, Jacob Lintott, Steven Finn
Captain: James Vince
The Southern Brave has made a truckload of runs in recent times and is a great contender to captain the fantasy side, where one can expect him to fetch more points than the other.
Vice-Captain: Matt Parkinson
The surface here offers spin and for that reason, Matt Parkinson can be made the vice-captain of the team. He scalped 4 wickets in the last game they played at Manchester.
