Manchester Super Giants, now led by new captain Jos Buttler after Aiden Markram’s exit from the tournament, host a red-hot Sunrisers Leeds side at Old Trafford on Tuesday, August 11, at 6:30 PM local (11:00 PM IST).
The two sides met at Headingley on July 28 in a genuine classic, where Mitchell Marsh’s 63 inspired the third-highest successful chase in Hundred history as Sunrisers ran down 182 with 8 wickets and 12 balls to spare.
Leeds have since added a 71-run thrashing of Welsh Fire, while Buttler’s 278 runs make him the competition’s leading scorer heading into his first assignment as captain.
