Sunrisers Leeds (SUL) are set to take on Manchester Super Giants (MSG) for match number 10 of the ongoing The Hundred League in the UK on Tuesday, July 28 at Headingley, Leeds.
Ahead of SUL vs MSG match, Sunrisers Leeds are currently placed 5thth With one win and one loss after playing two games in the 8-team league, Manchester Super Giants are placed second on the points table with one win and one match without any result.
SUL vs MSG Match Prediction – Pitch Report
The Headingley pitch traditionally favors chinaman spinners and fast bowlers in T20 matches. Tricky spinners can be useful here in the middle overs and fast bowlers will be helpful with the new ball in hand. Chasing a score between 180 and 190 in the first innings will be challenging for the other team.
Batting first after winning the toss can be a better option as the teams batting first in T20 on this ground have a better win ratio than the teams batting second.
Sunrisers Leeds vs Manchester Supergiants: Team Comparison
Leeds’ biggest strength this season has been their top-order batting. Their batting combination looks well settled with the presence of Mitchell Marsh, Ryan Rickelton, Harry Brook and Zak Crawley. The concern is about their bowling line-up as the team lacks quality in the middle overs with one loss and one win in two matches.
With Jos Buttler, Aiden Markram, Tim Seifert, Heinrich Klaasen forming the top-order of the second-placed team in the Hundred Points table, Manchester Super Giants are built like a tank as their bowling unit includes Gus Atkinson, Noor Ahmed, Liam Dawson and Josh Tong. They lack extra firepower in their middle-order and all-round department.
SUL vs MSG Probable Playing XI:
Sunrisers Leads Probable Playing XI: Mitchell Marsh, Ryan Rickelton(w), Harry Brook, Jack Crawley(c), Dan Lawrence, Tom Alsop, Matthew Revis, Braydon Carse, Matthew Potts, Nathan Ellis, Abrar Ahmed
Probable playing XI of Manchester Super Giants: Aiden Markram (captain), Tim Seifert, Jos Buttler (wicketkeeper), Heinrich Klaasen, Louis Du Plooy, Tom Moores, Liam Dawson, Gus Atkinson, Noor Ahmed, Josh Tong, Sonny Baker

Jos Buttler: The excellent form of Jos Buttler, who scored 90 off 50 in the last match of the tournament as the team’s No. 3 batsman, will look to continue the momentum.
Liam Dawson: The England spinner, who took three wickets in 20 balls at an economy rate of 5.29, could be the biggest threat against Sunrisers Leeds’ batting combination.
