Northern Superchargers vs Southern Brave Preview

• The Northern Superchargers have lost all three of their home games this season, which will undermine their confidence.
• Paul Stirling, James Vince, and Quinton de Kock are part of the Southern Brave’s potent batting order.
• The middle order of the Northern Superchargers hasn’t contributed this year, which is a major concern for the club.

 

On Wednesday afternoon at Headingley, the Northern Superchargers and Southern Brave will face off in the penultimate group stage matchup of the 2022 Men’s Hundred. So far in the competition, both sides have won three and lost four games. Both, however, will be eliminated following this match because neither can move into the top three of the table. The match starts at 15:30 local time.

Despite having a patchy performance throughout the competition, the Northern Superchargers managed to overcome Welsh Fire in their final game. We anticipate Southern Brave to be a much more formidable foe.

Following up on their thumping of Welsh Fire, Southern Brave defeated Trent Rockets by a score of outstanding six wickets in their most recent game. They’ll arrive in Headingley confident.
