Manchester Super Giants Team: Squad, Results, Stats & Schedule

Manchester Super Giants is the Manchester-based Hundred franchise fielding separate women's and men's sides. The 2026 campaign is its first under the Super Giants name, but its records continue from Manchester Originals, which competed from The Hundred's first season in 2021 through 2025.

RPSG Group owns 70% of the franchise and Lancashire Cricket retains 30%. The team is part of the Super Giants sporting family alongside Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL and Durban's Super Giants in SA20, while continuing to play at Emirates Old Trafford.

The women finished 4–3 with one no-result and 18 points, one place outside the top three. The men finished second at 5–3 with 20 points and face SunRisers Leeds in the Eliminator at The Kia Oval on 14 August. Smriti Mandhana and Tim Seifert led the runs, while Mady Villiers and Gus Atkinson led the wickets.

No. The men finished second and qualified for the Eliminator; the women finished fourth and their season ended after eight group matches.

The women recorded four wins, three losses and one no-result for 18 points. The men recorded five wins and three losses for 20 points and were scheduled to meet third-placed SunRisers Leeds at The Kia Oval on 14 August.

A combined 9–6–1 franchise summary is useful context but cannot transfer the men's qualification to the women. Each side has its own table and knockout route.

No. The Birmingham Phoenix match was abandoned without a ball bowled and remained a no-result, not a defeat. Manchester Women received two points from that match under the displayed table arithmetic.

Four wins supplied 16 points and the no-result supplied two, producing 18. Reclassifying it as a loss would incorrectly reduce both the record and points total.

The edge case also shows why played, won, lost and no-result must reconcile. An eight-match line of 4–3–1 is complete; a 4–4 label would invent a sporting outcome that never occurred.

Roster membership and captaincy are different facts. Aiden Markram remained in the active directory, but a 5 August availability update made Jos Buttler the current men's captain and added Michael Bracewell as a replacement.

The page therefore keeps Markram as a player while naming Buttler as captain. It does not delete a player merely because leadership changed, and it does not show two simultaneous captains.

This is a common live-squad trap: an active directory can preserve the wider season group even after availability and leadership roles move.

No. Manchester Super Giants is the 2026 name of the Manchester Hundred franchise, not a team with no prior competition history. The same Manchester operation played as Manchester Originals from 2021 to 2025.

That continuity keeps the men's 2022 and 2023 runners-up finishes in the franchise record, while the 2026 season remains the first under the Super Giants identity and RPSG-led ownership.

The accurate description is a rebranded franchise with inherited sporting history—not a new club claiming another team's trophies, and not an old name still used for current results.

SunRisers won the first meeting by eight wickets after chasing 182. Manchester reversed the result at Old Trafford, bowling SunRisers out for 127 and reaching 128 without losing a wicket.

Tim Seifert's season total rose to 322 runs, overtaking Jos Buttler's 278, while Gus Atkinson finished the group stage with 12 wickets. The return result helped Manchester close second.

The same teams meet again in the Eliminator, but the 10-wicket win does not carry points or a head start into the knockout. A new match resets the score even when recent evidence changes expectations.
