The Hundred Men’s Competition 2023: Most Wickets and Most Runs: Jos Buttler and Shaheen Shah Afridi retain top places - Updated after Match 10

The Hundred Men’s Competition 2023 entered its seventh day on Monday, August 7, and witnessed the tenth match of the ongoing edition. The consequences of the game caused a shift in the players’ positions in the batting and bowling charts. While a few rose above the ranks, others were demoted because of their below-par renderings.

The tenth match of the tournament was played between the Birmingham Phoenix and the Manchester Originals. Batting first, the Originals totaled a hefty sum of 160 runs on the board. In reply, the Phoenix could manage only 111, losing all their wickets in 98 balls, and resulting in a 49-run win for Manchester.

Jos Buttler’s side had a massive contribution from the captain himself as he smashed 43 runs. The lower-order players also contributed decently to help the team post an impressive total for the loss of eight wickets. Phoenix’s Benny Howell managed a three-wicket haul, whereas Adam Milne bagged two.

During their chase, Moeen Ali’s side failed to get a strong start. The openers could not affirm, whereas middle-order batter Liam Livingstone was the top-scorer with 27 runs. As the team collapsed, they had to face a big margin defeat.

Butler’s bowlers overpowered the opponents’ batters. Richard Gleeson, Josh Little, and Usama Mir came up with two wickets each while Tom Hartley stood out with three. It was Original's first win of the season after encountering a no-result and a defeat.
