Northamptonshire Steelbacks vs Bears prediction

Northampton Steelbacks look very much a Finals Day calibre side based on what we’ve seen from them so far and as it stands, they are the only team with a perfect record in their group, having played five and won five with every other side losing at least two group games already. This underlines just how well the Steelbacks have played.

Whilst Bears on the day can absolutely defeat the hosts, it’s hard to predict when that day will be. They are struggling to put together a sustained run of good performances and away against a team of Northants’ experience and consistency, the smart move would be to back a home victory being the outcome.
