This article will talk about the probable XIs for both teams and continue with the Dream11 predictions and the winning fantasy team for Match 26 of “The Hundred” between Northern Superchargers and Manchester Originals that is scheduled to take place on the 12th of August 2021.

The Northern Superchargers who are 6th on the points table at the end of 6 games with 2 wins will play host to the Manchester Originals who are on 5th with 2 wins. The winner of this match has an outside chance of going further in the tournament while the losing team is all but eliminated.

Manchester Originals lost their last match against the London Spirit in a close contest by 6 runs. Bowling first, they restricted the London team to a decent total of 142/6 thanks to Tom Hartley’s 3/27 and Matt Parkinson’s 2/18. But the Originals batsman succumbed to Brad Wheal’s 4/17 despite the middle-order batsmen Colin Ackermann(53), Tom Lommonby(27), and Carlos Brathwaite’s best efforts.

The Superchargers led by David Willey also suffered a loss at the hands of the Southern Brave by 5 wickets. Batting first, the Superchargers batsmen had a steady start to the innings but it was Dane Vilas’ 35 from 24 that took them to a respectable 128/6. But it was not enough as Quinton De Kock’s masterful 72 proved too much in the end. Adil Rashid and Adam Lyth did pick 2 wickets each but couldn’t prevent a defeat with 5 balls to spare.

Probable Playing XIs 

Most of the Northern Superchargers batsmen got off to good starts but couldn’t capitalize on it and as a result, the team could only post 128. Despite a good bowling effort from the spinners, Rashid and Lyth, the defense of a low target proved to be too much. They will most likely stick to the same XI.

The Manchester Originals’ top-order faltered in the pursuit of 143 but the middle-order trio Tom Lammonby, Colin Ackermann, Carlos Brathwaite showed some form. Though it didn’t result in a win but they can take heart from the fact the team was in trouble at 21/3 in 16 balls but the lower-order players took the team close.

Manchester Originals

Phil Salt, Joe Clarke, Colin Munro, Tom Lammonby, Colin Ackermann, Carlos Brathwaite(capt), Calvin Harrison, Tom Hartley, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Parkinson, Fred Klaassen.

Northern Superchargers

Adam Lyth, Chris Lynn, Harry Brook, Dane Vilas, David Willey(Capt), Brydon Carse, John Simpson (wk), Ben Raine, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Adil Rashid, Matt Potts

Fantasy Tips 

Batsmen: Harry Brook of Northern Superchargers has been in tremendous form with the bat in this tournament so far and has scored close to 190 runs in 5 games. Colin Munro of Manchester can be picked as he is in brilliant hitting form for the team and is a dangerous T20 batsman who can score big when in full flow. The 3rd batsman can be Adam Lyth who aside from his batting can contribute with the ball as well.

Wicket-keepers: Phil Salt from Manchester can be the lone keeper on the fantasy side. Despite being short on runs, he is the best option from either team.

All-Rounders: 2 all-rounders from each side can be picked in the fantasy. From the Manchester Originals Colin Ackermann, Carlos Brathwaite is the players to be selected as they are in good batting form in recent times. Ben Raine and skipper of Superchargers David Willey are the other 2 options.

Bowlers: Tom Hartley, the left-arm spinner from the Originals has taken 7 wickets in 4 games including 3 in the last and he can be picked. The leg-spinners from either side Adil Rashid and Matt Parkinson can be picked as the surface is expected to turn.

Captaincy Choices 

Fantasy Team:  Colin Munro, Phil Salt, Adam Lyth, Harry Brook, Colin Ackermann, David Willey, Carlos Brathwaite, Ben Raine, Tom Hartley, Adil Rashid, Matt Parkinson
