These are the likely lineups. Both are confirmed at the toss.

Key Player Battles

Jos Buttler vs Matthew Potts: Buttler leading the side and batting at the same time is a lot to carry, and Potts swinging the new ball is the first big test of his innings.

Heinrich Klaasen vs Abrar Ahmad: Klaasen can clear any ground when set, and Abrar’s wrist spin in the middle overs is exactly the kind of bowling that can slow him down.

Harry Brook vs Josh Tongue: Brook is in career best form, and Tongue’s pace and bounce give Manchester their best chance of getting him early.

MSG vs SRL Fantasy Team: Small League

Wicketkeepers: Jos Buttler (C), Heinrich Klaasen, Tim Seifert,

Batters: Harry Brook (Vc), Zak Crawley

All-rounders: Mitchell Marsh, Michael Bracewell,

Bowlers: Josh Tongue, Noor Ahmad, Abrar Ahmad, Matthew Potts,

Buttler gets the captaincy as Manchester’s new leader and a batter who’s been in outstanding touch all season. Brook is vice captain as Sunrisers Leeds’ most in form player. The rest of the team balances both top orders with the main bowlers, since bowling first has worked well at this ground.

MSG vs SRL Fantasy Team: Grand League

Wicketkeepers: Jos Buttler, Heinrich Klaasen,

Batters: Harry Brook, Zak Crawley,

All-rounders: Mitchell Marsh (C), Liam Dawson, Michael Bracewell (Vc),

Bowlers: Josh Tongue, Abrar Ahmad, Noor Ahmad, Tom Lawes,

For grand leagues, try Marsh as captain. He’s in red hot form and won’t be picked as much as Buttler or Brook. Bracewell as vice captain gives you a fresh face who could make an instant impact for Manchester. Tom Lawes and Liam Dawson are cheap picks who could still contribute with bat or ball.

Match Prediction

Sunrisers Leeds are the form side by a distance, top of the table and full of confidence after that big win over Welsh Fire. Manchester Super Giants have found some stability since Buttler took over the captaincy, winning both games so far under his leadership, and he’s shown he can lead from the front with the bat. It’s a real contest, but Sunrisers Leeds get the edge given their overall consistency this season.
