The match 13 of The Hundred Men’s 2021 will be held at the Emerald Headingley in Leeds, played between Northern Superchargers and Oval Invincibles. The match will be kicked off on 31st July (Saturday) at 23:00 (GMT+6).
After losses to Welsh Fire and Trent Rockets, as well as the c abandonment of their match against Manchester Originals, the hosts are still without a win in the tournament. With a win over Manchester Originals and a washout against the London Spirit, the Oval Invincibles are undefeated.
Ben Stokes, who is now for England duty, will be unavailable for the Northern Superchargers. Harry Brooks has made an impression with the bat and could be the key player for the team’s first win.
The Oval Invincibles have had to take a back seat after their London derby at Lord’s was washed out. They have a strong squad with numerous players that have previously played together.
Weather
When the game begins, it is cloudy with a temperature of 19 Degrees Celsius.
Pitch
We could see a 180+ team score if one of each side’s top order batsmen gets going. In the last match, spin bowlers had a lot of success at this venue.
