Northern Superchargers take on Birmingham Phoenix in Leeds on Tuesday evening in the Men’s Hundred’s penultimate group stage game. The hosts are now in fifth place, but they are still in contention for a top-three finish and a place in the knockout stages. The Birmingham Phoenix have advanced to the next round, and a win in this game will guarantee their spot in the Final.
The Northern Superchargers have been inconsistent throughout the tournament, but their batting performances have been remarkable. Another win in this game would be a foregone conclusion.
The Birmingham Phoenix have won their last four games and beat the Men’s Hundred team. Will Smeed and Liam Livingstone have both stepped up in recent games with outstanding performances.
Weather
There is no chance of rain, and the temperature is expected to range from 14~17°C.
Pitch
The previous game at this site was a high-scoring affair in which the Superchargers batted first and scored 200 runs. The track at Headingley, on the other hand, does not see a lot of runs. Early on, the fast bowlers will receive some assistance from the deck. A score of around 150 would be great.
