THE TEAM NEWS
NORTHERN SUPERCHARGERS MEN
- With five points to their name so far, Northern Superchargers need a win in their penultimate game here to keep themselves in with a chance of finishing top three in the men’s Hundred table come the conclusion of the group stage.
- Defeat away to Southern Brave last time out saw the Superchargers’ two-match winning streak come to an end despite the best efforts of their spin-bowlers, with four of their five wickets taken falling to spin.
- With their fast bowlers having not taken the scalps required, David Willey’s side could see changes among the bowling unit as the likes of Matthew Fisher and all-rounder Jordan Thompson could be called into the team.
MANCHESTER ORIGINALS MEN
- A disappointing defeat to London Spirit denied Manchester Originals a chance to go top of the group with two games left and they now find themselves under pressure to finish in the top three altogether.
- Needing just nine runs to win from six balls, captain Carlos Braithwaite holed out which led to a collapse that saw them lose three wickers for just two runs, emphasising their lack of batting depth.
- The Originals will need to at least considering bolstering their batting line-up for this contest and it would be no surprise to see Warwickshire’s Sam Hain given an opportunity.
THE PREDICTION
These two teams are generally well matched and will play each for the first time after their reverse fixture was washed out earlier in the tournament. However, that shortage of depth within Manchester Originals’ batting line-up has to be a cause for concern heading into this one. Northern Superchargers with home advantage will likely prepare a track that suits their spin-strong bowling department and with the heavier hitting down the order, the hosts are to be favoured for victory here.
