Prop Bets: Southern Brave VS Manchester Originals 2025-08-06
Prediction: Manchester Originals vs Southern Brave – A High-Octane Tug-of-War with a Side of Fireworks
The Manchester Originals and Southern Brave are set to collide in The Hundred’s second match, and the odds reflect a rivalry tighter than a bowler’s grip on a bouncer. With Bovada pricing the Originals at +183 (52.3%) and the Brave at +177 (53.8%), this is a toss-up so close you could flip a coin… or check DraftKings, where the Brave dip to +177 (56.5%). Either way, neither team’s implied probability breaks 57%, so expect a game closer than your neighbor’s Wi-Fi password.
Player Props to Bet On (and Why You Shouldn’t):
- Jos Buttler (Originals) to be top run-scorer: Sky Bet’s 11/4 (26.7% implied) makes him the favorite. But let’s be real: Jos is a legend, but this isn’t a solo act—it’s The Hundred, where even the commentators shout louder than the players.
- Tymal Mills (Brave) to be top wicket-taker: At 10/3 (23.1%), Mills is the bookies’ pick. Good luck—Originals’ batters are probably plotting his demise with a whiteboard and a vendetta.
- Both teams to score 170+ runs: Sky Bet’s 6/1 (14.3% implied) is a Hail Mary for optimists. If you’re dreaming of a batting bonanza, go ahead… just don’t blame us when it rains short covers instead of sixes.
The Verdict:
This is a 2-2 head-to-head series, and the odds reflect a game where neither side will blink. The Originals’ home advantage at Old Trafford might give them a 1% edge (which, in cricket, is basically a “for luck” charm). But with enhanced props and tickets selling faster than a Tymal Mills bouncer, this match is a must-watch.
Final Call: The Brave’s -150 (60% implied) at BetUS is tempting, but the Originals’ -183 (65.3%) at Bovada? That’s a gamble even your grandma would call “risky.” Play it safe, or go all-in on the 170+ prop—just don’t cry when the scorecard reads 140-8.
“In cricket, there’s batting, bowling, and then there’s The Hundred… where every over feels like a Netflix climax.” 🏏🔥
