Manchester Originals will be thrilled with the outcome! Their batting unit delivered a sizzling show in this must-win game. After posting the highest total in the history of The Hundred, the task for their bowlers became easy on a batting beauty. Still, the pressure was relentless with the way Adam Lyth started and Adam Hose took the fight forward. But Josh Little and Paul Walter delivered critical sets and discharged the charge from the Superchargers. Three wins in a row now for Manchester Originals and they now move to number three on the points table.
Good fight with the bat from Northern Superchargers but they eventually fell short of the target. The chase was always going to be tough for them but they didn't surrender. Adam Lyth and David Willey fought upfront and then the likes of Adam Hose and David Wiese also tried their best. The asking rate though was always alarmingly high and after one stage, it became very tough for them to deal with it.
