The Manchester Super Giants host the Sunrisers Leeds at Old Trafford in Manchester in Match 30 of the 2026 Men’s Hundred. This is the final league stage game for the two sides, with possible implications for qualification to the eliminator.
The Sunrisers sit comfortably on 20 points, having picked up five wins in seven games. They will be looking to seal a place in the final with a victory, which they could achieve if other results go their way. The Super Giants need a big win to seal their place and avoid the scenario of clashing on net run-rate, having secured 16 points from four wins in seven matches.
Here are three player battles which could decide the outcome of this contest
Mitchell Marsh has been the most prolific batter of the Men’s Hundred, scoring 374 runs in seven matches, striking at 173.14. He has shown various different gears of his game, taking on the role of an anchor while also displaying the brute force commonly associated with his game. He has scored four half-centuries this season and will be looking to lead his team to the finish line for the final time. Stopping him in his tracks will be the responsibility of England seamer Gus Atkinson, who has taken his place as the Super Giants’ attack leader. Atkinson has picked up nine wickets in seven matches, bowling at an economy rate of 7.64, and will be primed to keep Marsh in check.
England’s white-ball skipper Harry Brook has been in fine form in the last few games, and has scored 196 runs at a blistering strike rate of 190.29. He scored an 11-ball 23 in the last match against the Welsh Fire and will be looking to continue that form into a bigger score. He will be up against Afghan left-arm wrist-spinner Noor Ahmad, who has not been having a season up to his lofty standards. Noor has picked up just four wickets in seven games, going at an economy of 10.06, but his variations and left-arm angle could pose a threat to Brook.
England wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler has been the leading run-scorer for the Super Giants in 2026 with 278 runs at a strike rate of 174.84. He has scored four half-centuries and has also taken up captaincy duties in the absence of Aiden Markram. His matchup would be against the Sunrisers’ seam bowler Brydon Carse. The England international could trouble Buttler with his hit-the-deck bowling, and has picked up 11 wickets in seven games, proving his value as a key strike bowler for his side.
