After losing to Trent Rockets in the opening match of the season, Southern Brave won their last match by two runs against Welsh Fire. The James Vince-led side will be aiming to continue in a similar fashion and get the job done when they challenge Northern Superchargers in their upcoming match in The Hundred.
Notably, their batting looked really poor until Chris Jordan wreaked havoc in the last match. The ace pacer smashed 70* runs off 32 deliveries, but the team cannot depend on him every time. The bowlers, meanwhile, did a decent job and will be aiming to keep up, but the batters definitely need to get better.
When it comes to Northern Superchargers, their inaugural game was called off due to rain, but in the limited time that the match was played, their bowlers have done a good job. Meanwhile, their batting unit looks strong and, thus, will aim to get their first win of the season on August 6.
