Manchester Super Giants' Hundred campaign

Entities: Manchester Super Giants · Sophie Luff · Gus Atkinson · Meg Lanning · Birmingham Phoenix

Overview

In late July 2026 the Manchester Super Giants continued a strong start in England’s The Hundred competition. The men’s side kept their perfect record, edging London Spirit at Lord’s and then posting 187‑5 at Old Trafford to beat Birmingham Phoenix by 87 runs.

The women’s team had recorded a narrow 1‑run win over Leeds Sunrisers at Headingley, with Smriti Mandhana’s unbeaten 88 anchoring the chase. However, on 31 July at Old Trafford the Super Giants were bowled out for 122 and lost to the Trent Rockets by 31 runs. Sophia Dunkley (57) and Sophie Luff (51) forged a 91‑run partnership for the Rockets, while captain Ash Gardner claimed four wickets for 16 runs. The defeat ended the women’s unbeaten run and dropped Manchester to third place, two points behind the Rockets in the women’s standings.

The men remain unbeaten after four matches, while the women look to rebound in upcoming fixtures.
