Yesterday’s match of The Hundred Mens Competition between Manchester Originals and Northern Superchargers became a one-sided contest. The main reason behind this was Calvin Harrison. He bowled brilliantly well and went on to take 5 wickets. Due to his brilliance in bowling the Northern Superchargers were not able to play their natural game, and got all out even before 100 runs.

An important contribution of Calvin Harrison
It was Manchester originals who went on to bat first. They played really well and set the target of 165 runs for the opponents. It was clear that the Northern Superchargers are having a brilliant batting lineup, and because of that it is going to be important to take the early wickets.
- The first wicket of Calvin Harrison was Mattew Short, who was looking settled after getting a boundary and making 12 runs. Harrison got the wicket of this opener and started the fall of wickets.
- Wayne Parnell, the captain, was the next target of Harrison, and he was able to get this big fish only for 11 runs after he had got a big six.
- Brydon Carse was the other scalp that was collected by Harrison. Taking his wickets was certainly very important because he could have been dangerous later on.
- David Wiese who is an important pillar of the lower batting line up was another wicket taken by Calvin Harrison.
- Callum Parkinson was the last and final scalp to finish the innings and seal the victory. With this wicket, Harrison was able to complete his 5 wickets haul, and that was certainly a brilliant performance he had given.
Manchester Originals were certainly able to give a phenomenal performance. They are already one of the best teams in the tournament, as per the points table. However, they are yet to qualify. On the other hand, Northern Superchargers have already been eliminated from the next stage. However, there are lots of lessons that they can take from this defeat, and it is certainly going to be very helpful for them in The Hundred Mens Competition next year.
