Match Preview

The Originals had a tough 2024 campaign, winning just one game and finishing second-last. This year, Phil Salt takes over as captain and will hope to bring better results at home.

One of the big names in the squad is James Anderson, who has been picked as a wildcard. If he plays, it will be his debut in The Hundred. However, the team has suffered an early setback with Marchant de Lange ruled out due to injury. Young pacer Farhan Ahmed has come in as his replacement.

Mark Chapman will be available for the first four matches as cover for Rachin Ravindra. Ravindra is currently on national duty with New Zealand and will join the squad later.

Southern Brave had a strong 2024 season but fell short in the final, losing to Oval Invincibles by 17 runs. James Vince continues as captain and will lead a team packed with both experience and talent.

Jofra Archer is part of the squad as a centrally contracted player. The Brave will also have overseas players like Finn Allen, Michael Bracewell, and Hilton Cartwright.

Jason Roy has been added to the squad in place of Faf du Plessis, who is out for the season due to groin surgery.
