Sunrisers Leeds Women

Leeds’ balance of Litchfield, Sutherland, Jonassen and Deepti Sharma gives them a slight advantage in our preview.

Toss pick: Sunrisers Leeds Women

The Hundred Women’s Competition 2026Emirates Old Trafford

Manchester Super Giants Women meet Sunrisers Leeds Women at Emirates Old Trafford on Tuesday 11 August in the 30th match of The Hundred Women’s Competition 2026, an afternoon fixture in warm, dry weather.

Manchester’s likely XI is led by captain Meg Lanning and features Smriti Mandhana, Grace Scrivens, Kathryn Bryce, Mady Villiers and wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh. Sophie Ecclestone, Maitlan Brown, Ryana MacDonald-Gay, Grace Ballinger and Rebecca Tyson make up the bowling.

Sunrisers Leeds’ expected line-up has Bryony Smith, Phoebe Litchfield and Lauren Winfield-Hill at the top, with Jess Jonassen, Annabel Sutherland, captain Danielle Gibson and Deepti Sharma behind them. Darcey Carter, Kate Cross, Cassidy McCarthy and Hannah Baker complete the attack.

Seamers may find some early movement, but batting should become more comfortable once players settle. A total around 130 should be competitive, and we expect a close game with Leeds slightly ahead.

Pitch report

Old Trafford generally gives a balanced contest. Seamers often get early swing and movement, especially in Manchester’s typically overcast conditions, which makes the powerplay challenging. The surface then settles for stroke-making, and spinners can find some grip and turn in the middle overs. Chasing sides have often held a small advantage once conditions ease.

Weather

Tuesday 11 August should be very warm with sunny periods around the 3:00 pm local start. No major weather concerns are expected, rain looks unlikely, and a light to moderate breeze could help seamers. Dew should not matter at that time of day.
