He picked three wickets for 24 runs in his second-last match against Northern Superchargers and one wicket against Rockets in his last outing.

Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Oval Invincibles
Oval Invincibles are likely to beat Manchester Originals and win the men's Hundred 2023. Their quality all-rounders and the experience of Jason Roy and Sam Billings are expected to topple Manchester Originals who have relied heavily on a handful of players throughout the season. Unlike the Manchester Originals squad, Oval Invincibles are full of match-winners from top to bottom and they could be too hot to handle for Manchester Originals. Oval Invincibles have won each of their last three matches and would come more fresh in the match. While Manchester played their last game on Saturday, Oval Invincibles last played on August 21. Also, Oval Invincibles defeated Manchester Originals by 94 runs earlier this season and that too would give them a massive psychological advantage.
