NORTHERN SUPERCHARGERS MEN FORM: POORAN SHOWS CLASS AS SUPERCHARGERS COMPLETE ORIGINALS DOUBLE
Northern Superchargers were in trouble chasing 153 to beat Manchester Originals at Emirates Old Trafford on Sunday night, before Nicholas Pooran took charge. The West Indian showed his world class power by smashing an unbeaten 66 to help guide his side home after being well supported by captain Harry Brook and Adam Hose. The win however, was marred by a hamstring injury to Ben Stokes.
LONDON SPIRIT MEN FORM: INVINCIBLES HAMMERING MAKES IT FOUR DEFEATS IN A ROW FOR A BROKEN SPIRIT
Playing purely for pride, London Spirit have shown little of it across the competition so far and their latest loss was arguably their most embarrassing yet. Bowled out for just 96 against Oval Invincibles, their London rivals chased the meagre target down in only 63 balls for the loss of just one wicket, consigning the Spirit to a sixth loss and fourth in succession.
NORTHERN SUPERCHARGERS MEN BETTING ANALYSIS
We’ve waxed lyrical about the exploits of both Harry Brook and Nicholas Pooran across the Northern Superchargers’ campaign and the pair continue to carry this team towards a top three finish. For bettors, it’s difficult to back one, without investing in the other and this should continue here as it maximises your chances of making a profit when considering how strong they are with the bat. With that in mind, consider a stake on both to finish as Northern Superchargers’ top batter against the London Spirit.
LONDON SPIRIT MEN BETTING ANALYSIS
London Spirit are firmly out of the race and have endured one of the worst individual campaigns seen from a men’s Hundred side across the tournament’s existence so far. Their batting keeps collapsing, the bowling lacks potency and big-name players have flopped miserably. However, bettors should at least keep an eye on Michael Pepper, who always tries to clear the boundary when opening the batting, taking advance of the field being up. Backing the Essex man to record over 0.5 match sixes as he did last time out vs Oval Invincibles warrants consideration.
NORTHERN SUPERCHARGERS MEN VS LONDON SPIRIT MEN EXPERTPREDICTION
All the pressure here is on Northern Superchargers. They are expected to win, they need to win and London Spirit have essentially nothing but pride to play for. The heavy-hitters at the top of Northern Superchargers’ batting order should be afforded plenty of joy if previous Spirit performances are anything to go by, whilst triggering another batting collapse from the visitors is something Harry Brook’s side must be confident of achieving. Back a comprehensive triumph for the Superchargers.
