Emirates Old Trafford’s Hundred men’s competition

Manchester Originals 171-3 (100 balls): Buttler 64* (45), Klaasen 50* (25), Potts 2-39

Northern Superchargers 114 (87 balls): Miller 38 (22), Baker 3-21, Tongue 3-21

By 57 runs, the Manchester Originals won.

Manchester Originals’ 57-run victory over Northern Superchargers at Old Trafford helped Sonny Baker’s hat-trick help them boost their men’s Hundred hopes.

Dawid Malan was bowled by Baker, who was assigned to England’s white-ball squad to face South Africa and Ireland on Friday when he was called up for the game. He returned at the end of the inning with Tom Lawes and Jacob Duffy.

Although Baker’s first and second wickets were 35 balls apart, the 22-year-old seamer’s 3-21 continued a steady upward trend.

His third wicket, a perfect 88-mph yorker to Duffy, made it his seventh tournament dismissal. It ensured that the Superchargers were all out for 114.

After Jos Buttler’s 64 not out of his second fifty innings in as many innings in Originals, the visitors were on a 172-run lead.

He turned his fifty again in honor of his late father, who passed away earlier this month.

Heinrich Klaasen scored 30 runs from the final seven balls, giving Buttler’s innings the foundation of the Originals’ score.

The South Africa international returned to form in a timely manner after only 20 balls and ended up with 50 not out of 25.

On Monday, we travel to Southampton to watch Southern Brave and Oval Invincibles play a double-header.

The men’s match begins at 18:30 BST, with the women’s game beginning at 15:00 BST.

Edgbaston’s Hundred women’s competition

London Spirit 164-6 (100 balls): Chathli 69 (35), Arlott 3-25

Phoenix in Birmingham 76-9 (79 balls): Lamb 23 (13), Gray 2-13

London Spirit defeated London Spirit 88 runs to win.

Phoenix in Birmingham lost to London Spirit in the most runs in The Hundred women’s competition’s history by 88 runs, which was their biggest defeat.

As Spirit posted a score of 164-6, opener Kira Chathli hit 69 from 35 balls, while Grace Harris, who was hit hard, made 34 from 15.

With only Emma Lamb (23) passing 10, Phoenix’s chase ended up being bowled out for 76 with 21 balls left.

After winning the toss, Spirit captain Charlie Dean decided to bat, but her team lost Cordelia Griffith and Georgia Redmayne for nought and nine, respectively, leading to a score of 25-2 on the powerplay.

Chathli steadied the ship by striking 13 fours and putting on a 47-point partnership with Harris.

She was caught attacking Ellyse Perry while Harris took the third victim, Em Arlott, with 3 to 25; Spirit came out on top 164-6.

Georgia Voll, the opener for Phoenix, was taken off Issy Wong’s feet in the tenth ball of the innings when Chathli caught her off Issy Wong. Six batters were then dismissed for single innings before losing regular wickets.

With debutant Phoebe Brett out with a thumb injury that completed a comprehensive Spirit victory, Megan Schutt and Hannah Baker were dismissed from successive balls to make it 76-9 Phoenix.

Old Trafford’s Hundred women’s competition, and Old Trafford

Manchester Originals 117-5 (100 balls): Dottin 51* (26), Cross 2-21

Nothern Superchargers 112-7 (100 balls): Litchfield 31 (27), Kerr 2-20

By five runs, the Manchester Originals won.

Northern Superchargers were unable to regain the top spot with a five-run defeat at Old Trafford by Manchester Originals.

After putting in 64 for the second wicket, the visiting side had hoped to win, scoring 118.

However, Melie Kerr’s dismissal of Litchfield set off a run-inducing spell that saw Superchargers lose four wickets for 17 runs and see their chase stall.

As Superchargers fell short, Sophie Ecclestone, who needed 14 from the final 10 balls, had superb catch of Bess Heath from Deandra Dottin, and Lauren Filer, who removed Kate Cross.

After Superchargers decided to bowl, Cross had already put her side on a strong note, dismissing both of the originals openers for single-figures.

The former Originals seamer bowled Captain Beth Mooney, and Kathryn Bryce was caught behind.

Dottin hammered 51 from 26 to finish the Originals at 117-5 after only 58-4 from 64 balls.

On Monday, we travel to Southampton to watch Southern Brave and Oval Invincibles play a double-header.

The men’s match begins at 18:30 BST, with the women’s game beginning at 15:00 BST.

Despite having talks about a move to Tottenham, Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner anticipates Eberechi Eze to play in the team’s first European game.

After the goalless draw against Chelsea, Glasner stated to Sky Sports, “There are many rumors about Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi, but they were completely with this group,” and they have clearly demonstrated this.

Glasner discussed Eze’s future further by saying, “He will come to the Crystal Palace training ground tomorrow, Tuesday off, we take Wednesday, and I anticipate him playing for us against Fredrikstad.”

On Thursday (20:00 BST kick-off), Palace will face Norwegian side Fredrikstad in the Conference League play-off round.

The Eagles won the FA Cup last year to make history’s first-ever European qualifying event, but due to Uefa’s multi-club ownership laws, they were expelled from the Europa League.

According to Uefa’s regulations, Eze and Guehi could still play for another team in the league phase of European competition this year if they qualified for Palace’s Conference League qualifier.

According to Glasner, “Everyone could see the performances against Liverpool [in the Community Shield], and today they were completely in tune with this team and Crystal Palace,” he added.

The England international’s contract includes an initial sum of $ 60 million plus an additional $ 8 million in add-ons, and an expired release clause.

Tottenham reportedly is negotiating an offer that is only slightly below the total release date.

Talks between Palace and Premier League champions Liverpool are ongoing, and it’s similar to the case with England’s center-back Guehi.

Steve Parish, the club’s chairman, stated last week that the Eagles would sell their captain this summer to prevent losing him to the end of his contract.
