Northern Superchargers will take on the Southern Brave in Match 31 of the Hundred Men‘s 2022 at Headingley, Leeds. Both teams have been knocked out from the race to the top three and it will be a matter of ending their campaign on a high.
Northern Superchargers and Southern Brave are coming into this game securing a win. The Superchargers won their last game clinically against Welsh Fire whereas The Braves defeated the table-toppers Trent Rockets by six wickets. Both the teams stand on six points in seven and it will be interesting to see which team prevails.
Inconsistency has plagued the Faf du Plessis-led side this season. The Superchargers have looked good at times, but have failed to put on a string of good performances. Their last game is a home game, and the Superchargers would look to say goodbye to the fans in style.
Predicted Playing XI:
Faf du Plessis (c), Adam Lyth, David Willey, Michael-Kyle Pepper (wk), Harry Brook, Adam Hose, David Wiese, Adil Rashid, Wayne Parnell, Craig Miles, Roelof van der Merwe
Players to watch out for:
Adam Lyth
Adam Lyth has been one of the positives for the Superchargers. He has been consistent at the top, giving his team brisk starts. The Yorkshire cricketer would look to end his promising season on a high.
Harry Brook
Harry Brook came into the tournament on a high and was one of the contenders for World Cup slots in the England national team. But, the 23-year-old was not able to string impactful performances for his team this season. Brook would look to end a rather awful season in a good fashion.
James Vince’s side has been on a role in the last two matches but their players peaked too late. The defending champions would look to finish on a high in what has been a poor show by their standards.
Predicted Playing XI:
Paul Stirling, Quinton de Kock (wk), Tim David, James Vince (c), Alex Davies, Ross Whiteley, James Fuller, Rehan Ahmed, Jake Lintott, Sonny Baker, Michael Hogan
Players to watch out for:
Quinton de Kock
The star batter from South Africa was expected to deliver the goods for the side but had a rather mediocre campaign. The southpaw will have a final go this season and would look to show the cricketing world why is he so highly rated.
Michael Hogan
Michael Hogan has been consistent with the new ball giving breakthroughs up front. He would again be vital for the Braves against the opening duo of Lyth and du Plessis.
