Preview
Northern Superchargers will host the Oval Invincibles in match 15 of the Men’s Hundred in Leeds. NSI and OI are two of the top teams on the points table, after staying undefeated in the first three matches of the competition thus far. With both teams firing on all cylinders, the upcoming matchup between Superchargers and Invincibles could deliver yet another dramatic finish in the tournament.
Pitch Report
The pitches made at Headingley in the shorter format matches are generally balanced for everyone to shine. They have a lot of pace for the fast bowlers to rush the batters in their stroke play, but if a cricketer is good enough, then they can make big scores here too. The straight boundaries are not the longest at this venue, especially after the renovation, which allows the batters to up the ante, once they are in.
Team Analysis
Northern Superchargers
During their last match in the Men’s Hundred, the Northern Superchargers' top order of Tom Banton, Matthew Short, and Harry Brook, was sent packing within the first ten balls against the Trent Rockets, after dominating Souther Brave two matches prior. But, still, NSC were able to post a competitive total on the board, thanks to impressive contributions from Brydon Carse and David Wiese in their 72-run partnership. In the bowling department, the left-arm fast bowling duo of captain Wayne Parnell and Reece Topley shared five wickets between themselves, to help their side attain a close win by three runs.
