MNR vs SOB Dream11 Prediction: Manchester Originals vs Southern Brave Fantasy Team, The Hundred Match 2

MNR vs SOB Dream11 Team: The Hundred 2025 kicks off its second match with a thrilling clash between Manchester Originals and Southern Brave at Emirates Old Trafford on August 6.

Manchester Originals aim to rebound from a dismal 2024, while Southern Brave, runners-up last season, look to build on their strong foundation.

Schedule

The match is set for August 6, 2025, at 5:30 PM GMT (11:00 PM IST) at Old Trafford, Manchester. It follows the women's fixture at 2:00 PM GMT, making it a double-header day.

Manchester Originals, led by Phil Salt, are desperate to overcome their 2024 struggles, where they won just one game. With a revamped squad featuring Jos Buttler and Heinrich Klaasen, they boast explosive batting. Their bowling, however, remains a concern, relying on veterans like James Anderson and Josh Tongue. Southern Brave, under James Vince, come off a strong 2024, reaching the final. Their balanced unit, with Finn Allen's aggression and Chris Jordan's death-bowling prowess, makes them formidable. Old Trafford's pitch typically favors seamers early but supports high scores, with an average first-innings total of 130-150. The toss could be crucial, with teams likely preferring to bowl first.
