Northern Superchargers (Match Odds- 2.10)

Preview

Northern Superchargers recovered from a score of 31/4 with their top three eliminated for low single-digit scores against Trent Rockets to record a respectable total of 142/5 in their 100 balls. After a rocky beginning, their trio of Adam Hose (19 runs), Saif Zaib (21 runs), and Brydon Carse (33 runs) created the foundation for David Wiese to launch a 25-ball 54 run onslaught and help them to a par score.

Then, their bowlers maintained composure to limit the opposition to 139/7 and secure a 3-run victory. Wayne Parnell, the team’s skipper, had the best bowling statistics with a score of 3/21. With frequent wickets, Reece Topley (2/20) and Callum Parkinson (2/29) gave the team strong support. The former bowled the final 5 balls of the opposition’s chase when they needed 9 runs to win. Adil Rashid contributed with run-a-ball totals within his allotted 20 balls.

Full Squad:

Ben Stokes, Adil Rashid, Harry Brook, Reece Topley, Tom Banton, Matthew Short, Adam Lyth, Adam Hose, Brydon Carse, Matthew Potts, David Wiese, Bas de Leede, Wayne Parnell, Callum Parkinson, Ollie Robinson, Saif Zaib

Players to watch out for:

Harry Brook

Harry Brook, a promising young batsman who competed for England’s Under-19 team in the 2018 World Cup, is hailed as one of the nation’s future stars. He was a right-handed batsman and only Alastair Cook, another English player, had scored a century at that level. In the last match, he was out for a duck and will overcome his shortcomings in the upcoming match.

Reece Topley

Reece Topley of the Superchargers, who just played against the Rockets, is currently ranked first in The Hundred’s bowling rankings after managing two wickets in that game. From three games, he has now taken six wickets. He will be the player to watch out for in the match.

Possible Playing XI:

Tom Banton (wk), Matthew Short, Harry Brook, Adam Hose, Saif Zaib, David Wiese, Brydon Carse, Wayne Parnell (c), Adil Rashid, Reece Topley, Callum Parkinson

Oval Invincibles (Match Odds- 1.75)

Preview

With their top three of Will Jacks (32 runs), Jason Roy (59 runs), and Heinrich Klassen (60 runs) scoring runs quickly, Oval Invincible posted a huge score of 186/5 in their 100 balls against Manchester Originals. To end on a good note, Jordan Cox, Sam Billings, and Sam Curran played some vital boundaries. Last night, their batters appeared to be virtually unstoppable. Last night, their bowlers played to their highest potential, limiting the opposition to just 92 runs. Spencer Johnson, a rookie, had an unbelievable statistic of 3/1 while only allowing 1 run in his 20 balls and 19 dots. Gus Atkinson contributed with two wickets, and their spinners Sunil Narine (3/12) and Nathan Sowter (2/29) comprehensively dismantled the opposition’s middle order.

Full Squad:

Sam Curran, Sunil Narine (Adam Zampa from August 13), Will Jacks, Jason Roy, Tom Curran, Sam Billings, Tom Lawes, Heinrich Klaasen (Jimmy Neesham from August 20), Ross Whiteley, Jordan Cox, Gus Atkinson, Spencer Johnson, Danny Briggs, Nathan Sowter, Zak Chappell, Tawanda Muyeye

Players to watch out for:

Will Jacks

In the course of four months in 2022, the player scored a century in The Hundred and took six wickets in his first Test match. The former was much more expected than the latter of the predictions made early in Will Jack’s career. The tall, clean-hitting batsman was known as a limited-overs destroyer, and in 2019, he catapulted to the forefront of the cricketing world’s attention with a 25-ball century in a T10 preseason match against Lancashire in Dubai. There was astonishment but no surprise when he scored 108 runs off of 48 deliveries for Oval Invincibles versus Southern Brave, the defending champions.

Tom Curran

Former coach Chris Adams even likened him to Dale Steyn. He is a strong, true fast who frequently bowls in the 140-150kph area while producing away swing. Curran is on England’s radar for the shorter forms because of his ability to swing the ball and his capacity to contribute with the bat. He does have good speed changes that work well in ODIs and T20s, and he most definitely smacks the ball far.

Possible Playing XI:

Will Jacks, Jason Roy, Jordan Cox, Heinrich Klaasen, Tom Curran, Sam Billings(w/c), Ross Whiteley, Sunil Narine, Gus Atkinson, Spencer Johnson, Nathan Sowter
