The Hundred: Manchester Originals women’s team preview
With India T20I captain Harmanpreet Kaur and world class South African batters Mignon du Preez and Lizelle Lee, Manchester Originals have arguably the best top order in The Hundred. Add to that the electric England off-spinner Sophie Ecclestone, as well as Alex Hartley and Kate Cross, and the Manchester outfit have a very well-balanced side. While many of their players have never played under the pressure they will experience at The Hundred, Manchester Originals certainly have the talent to challenge for the title.

Captaincy options from Manchester Originals for The Hundred women’s fantasy draft
Harmanpreet Kaur’s world class run-scoring ability means she is capable of dominating The Hundred, and is therefore an obvious choice as a fantasy captain. In the bowling department, Sophie Ecclestone’s accurate off spin means she is likely to frustrate batters and take plenty of wickets.
