Manchester Originals captain Jos Buttler’s fifty came in vain as Harry Brook and Adam Lyth helped Northern Superchargers to a six-wicket victory in The Hundred…
Story of the match
The names may be different but the Roses rivalry remained red-hot as a team from Lancashire (Manchester Originals) took on a side from Yorkshire (Northern Superchargers) in Friday’s fixture at Emirates Old Trafford.
Originals skipper Buttler hit 59 from 41 balls, including one six and five fours, before he was bowled by an Adil Rashid googly as the hosts carded 161-4, their highest score in the tournament to date.
But that was trumped by Superchargers with six balls to spare as Lyth (51 off 30) and David Willey (29 off 21) fired before Brook (33no off 19) and David Wiese (15no off six) took the visitors to 162-4 from 94 deliveries.

Superchargers got the better of Originals in the teams’ one completed match against each other last season, slamming a Hundred-record score of 200 during a riotous evening at Headingley, and they earned bragging rights again here.
In Originals’ innings, Buttler was backed up by Wayne Madsen (43 off 26), Andre Russell (29no off 20) and Paul Walter (23 off 10) – Russell and Walter striking three sixes apiece – while with the ball for Superchargers, Rashid conceded just 20 runs from as many balls and Willey took two wickets, including Phil Salt for just one.

Hero of the Match, Adam Lyth, is confident his team can better their sixth-placed finish in The Hundred last year
Lyth said: “We spoke at half time about trying to take charge of the powerplay so it was nice to get a few runs and for the side to get over the line at the end. With our batting line-up we were very confident. Last year wasn’t too good or us, coming sixth. We can do a lot better this year.”
