Weather Report

MO vs SB Pitch Report

At Old Trafford, the pitch offers a mix of challenge and opportunity. Spinners come into play thanks to the surface’s natural grip and the large square boundaries. This is a venue where clever bowling can outfox big hitters. With true bounce and a fast outfield, batters who pick their moments can still put on a dazzling run-scoring spectacle. The Manchester Originals could only muster 116 for six in their innings against the Southern Brave in 2024.
