Jos Buttler played a commanding innings of 90 runs as Manchester Super Giants secured an 87-run victory over Birmingham Phoenix in the men’s Hundred match at Old Trafford. The contest was delayed due to rain, which also led to the cancellation of the earlier women’s game scheduled for the day.

After the delayed start, Birmingham Phoenix made early breakthroughs with the ball, limiting the Super Giants' progress. Nevertheless, Heinrich Klaasen’s quick 20 runs and Leus du Plooy’s contribution of 13 helped Manchester reach 113 for four after 69 balls. Buttler anchored the innings, reaching his half-century with a powerful six over deep midwicket, and remained at the crease until three deliveries remained in the innings. The Super Giants posted a total of 187 for five.

In response, Birmingham Phoenix struggled to build momentum and were bowled out for 100 runs in 97 balls, falling well short of the target. The comprehensive defeat underscored Manchester Super Giants' dominance in both batting and bowling departments throughout the match.
