The 16th match of the Men's Hundred 2022 will see Manchester Originals (MNR) take on Welsh Fire (WEF) at Old Trafford in Manchester on Tuesday, August 16.
Despite a good batting performance, the Manchester Originals were outplayed by the Trent Rockets in their previous outing. They are still winless in the Hundred, with the likes of Jos Buttler and Phil Salt keen to get their side over the line.
Welsh Fire are also in search of their first win of the season. They have not clicked as a unit and will bank on their top-heavy batting unit to come up with the goods. Both teams look evenly-matched on paper, but home conditions should tilt the odds in the Originals' favor.
With both sides' campaigns possibly on the line, an intriguing game is on the cards in Manchester.

The pacers might not get much help with the new ball, allowing the batters to go all out from the start. As the match progresses, the ball should grip and turn, bringing the spinners into play. Wickets in hand will be crucial with both sides likely to prefer batting first upon winning the toss.

Jos Buttler: Jos Buttler has been decent with the bat despite the Manchester Originals still being winless in the Hundred. He is an explosive batter who can take on the bowling from ball one.
