Manchester Super Giants Women (MSG W) will face Sunrisers Leeds Women (SRL W) in Match 30 of The Hundred Women’s Competition 2026 at Old Trafford, Manchester, on Tuesday, August 11.
MSG Women have won four of their seven matches, with one game ending without a result, and currently occupy third place in the points table. Sunrisers Leeds are fourth with four wins and three defeats and head into this contest on a three-match winning streak. With both teams closely placed in the standings, another crucial clash awaits at Old Trafford.
Smriti Mandhana has been the standout batter for MSG Women this season. She has scored 204 runs in six innings at an average of 40.80 and a strike rate of 136.00. Her unbeaten 88 is also the team’s highest score. Mandhana’s consistency at the top makes her an automatic choice in the opening combination.
Grace Scrivens has also been part of the top-order setup and will be expected to provide support to Mandhana. Richa Ghosh is likely to slot in next and will also take responsibility behind the stumps. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter can provide the attacking option in the top order and will be important against Sunrisers Leeds’ bowling attack.
Meg Lanning has accumulated 133 runs in six innings this season, with a highest score of 43. Her average of 26.60 has been below her usual standards, but the former Australia captain remains an important part of MSG’s middle order and will look to make a bigger impact in this fixture.
Kathryn Bryce brings all-round ability to the lineup and provides the side with another option in both departments. Mady Villiers has enjoyed a useful campaign, scoring 118 runs and picking up seven wickets in six matches. Her three-wicket haul of 3/17 shows her ability to make an impact with the ball as well.
Maitlan Brown has contributed five wickets in five bowling innings and has an economy rate of 7.90. Her ability to provide seam-bowling support gives MSG further depth in the middle and lower-middle order.
Sophie Ecclestone has been MSG Women’s leading bowler this season. The left-arm spinner has taken eight wickets in six matches and has been particularly economical, conceding just 5.15 runs per over. Her best figures are 3/14, and she will be one of the biggest threats to the Sunrisers Leeds batters.
Ryana MacDonald-Gay has also picked up eight wickets in six matches, with an impressive best of 4/17. However, her economy rate of 8.21 suggests that her role has been more about taking wickets and breaking partnerships.
Grace Ballinger and Rebecca Tyson are expected to complete the bowling unit. While their numbers have not been as prominent as Ecclestone or MacDonald-Gay, both provide the pace options needed to complement the spin of Ecclestone and Villiers.
Overall, MSG Women have a balanced combination, with Mandhana leading the batting charts for the side and Ecclestone and MacDonald-Gay providing the main wicket-taking threat.
