The Hundred, Women: London Spirit vs Manchester Super Giants

Platform comparison

Market context

This market is about the women’s Hundred match between London Spirit and Manchester Super Giants, and a **YES** share pays if the match result is published as a Manchester Super Giants win on ESPNcricinfo, with ordinary cricket rulings such as DLS, penalties or a Super Over counting as a win if they decide the match. A **NO** share pays if London Spirit win, or if the match is not officially settled as a Manchester Super Giants victory before the market’s close.

The main clue for reading a **0% YES** price is that markets at the extreme often reflect either no trade, stale pricing, or a very strong expectation that one side is effectively dead. In this fixture, the most recent published match between the teams in the 2026 Women’s Hundred went Manchester Super Giants’ way by seven wickets after London Spirit were restricted to 80, which is the sort of result that can anchor trader memories even when it is only one data point.[4][5][7] At the same time, pre-match previews around the same competition have shown fairly even views, with one betting preview listing London Spirit and Manchester Super Giants at close to toss-up odds in the women’s match.[10]

For traders, the key catalysts are the confirmed line-ups, the toss, and any schedule or venue updates, because The Hundred’s short format can swing sharply on a single top-order wicket or a successful chase. The market also depends on the final official result, so any match shortened by weather or affected by DLS still resolves by the declared winner rather than by full overs played.[4][5] If this fixture follows the earlier pattern of a modest first-innings total and a manageable chase, that tends to favour the side bowling first, but the immediate reference point remains the official scorecard rather than previews or video commentary.[2][3][7]

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). That keeps the comparison honest — a single canonical probability across the row, with the venue-by-venue trade-offs spelt out in the columns next to it.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
