The Hundred 2025, Match 2: Manchester Originals (MNR) and last year's runners-up Southern Brave (SOB) will face off in the second match of the men's The Hundred 2025 season. The match will be played at Old Trafford in Manchester and will start at 11:00 PM IST on Wednesday, August 6.
The Originals will be looking to bounce back after a disappointing 2024 campaign where they finished seventh with just one win. With a new season ahead, they will aim to start their tournament on a positive note and turn things around.
On the other hand, Southern Brave will enter the competition as a strong contender. Having finished runners-up to Oval Invincibles in the 2024 final, they will be eager to go further this time around.
Manchester's Old Trafford has proven to be a high-scoring venue in The Hundred. The average first innings score here during last year's men's season was 137, although only 86 runs were scored in the first match. Spinners will be expected to play a key role here, especially in the middle overs, as evidenced by the four matches scheduled to be held at the stadium in 2024.
