Match preview
Manchester Super Giants face Sunrisers Leeds at Emirates Old Trafford on Tuesday 11 August in the 30th men’s match of The Hundred 2026. The evening game is expected to be played in warm, dry weather.
Manchester’s likely XI is led by Jos Buttler and includes Tim Seifert, Paul Walter, Heinrich Klaasen, Leus du Plooy and Tom Moores. Michael Bracewell and Liam Dawson offer all-round options, and Gus Atkinson, Josh Tongue and Noor Ahmad are the main bowlers.
Sunrisers Leeds are expected to field Mitchell Marsh, Ryan Rickelton, Harry Brook, captain Zak Crawley, Dan Lawrence and Matthew Revis, followed by Brydon Carse and Tom Lawes. Matthew Potts, Nathan Ellis and Abrar Ahmed support the attack.
We expect good batting conditions with some early help for the seamers, and with the quality in Leeds’ top six we edge them ahead. The toss is unlikely to be decisive, though chasing may be marginally easier.
Tuesday 11 August is forecast to be warm and mostly sunny at Old Trafford, around 27–28°C at the 6:30 pm local start. Rain chances are very low. A moderate breeze could help seamers early, while a low to moderate chance of dew in the second innings may make batting slightly easier.
