NORTHERN SUPERCHARGERS MEN FORM: POORAN SUPERCHARGES FREDDIE’S MEN
Nicholas Pooran was always likely to be a game-changing signing for Northern Superchargers and the West Indian is proving more than value for money so far with his second knock of over 50 runs in as many games, helping the side coached by Andrew Flintoff get the better of Oval Invincibles.
MANCHESTER ORIGINALS MEN FORM: ROCK-BOTTOM ORIGINALS IN THE DOLDRUMS
Confirmation prior to this match that captain and star player Jos Buttler will miss the entirety of the Hundred has only compounding Manchester Originals’ misery in what has been a tournament to forget for them so far, having lost all three fixtures played so far in the men’s Hundred.
NORTHERN SUPERCHARGERS MEN BETTING ANALYSIS
As we mentioned earlier in the article, Nicholas Pooran has been a standout signing and 127 runs across his last two innings is testament to that, the overseas star accumulating individual scores of 65 not out and 62 respectively. Bettors should look at backing Pooran to maintain his current form with another score of 30+ runs, especially when considering the frailties of his opponents.
MANCHESTER ORIGINALS MEN BETTING ANALYSIS
Manchester Originals were comprehensively outplayed in all departments in their last match, a seven-wicket defeat at the hands of Southern Brave. The whole team has suffered and a Jos Buttler sized hole at the top of the order hasn’t helped. Phil Salt’s highest score of the competition so far has been just 16 runs and a play on him to record under 21.5 runs for what would be a fourth consecutive fixture is tempting.
NORTHERN SUPERCHARGERS MEN VS MANCHESTER ORIGINALS MEN EXPERT PREDICTION
Two teams in totally contrasting patches of form do battle at Headingley and there appears to be a clear gap between the pair on paper. Whilst Northern Superchargers can call upon the likes of Pooran, Harry Brook and Matthew Short to give their innings a boost whether they are setting or chasing a target, Manchester Originals have lost their most influential figure through injury and the rest of the side are lacking quality and confidence.
The expectation is that Northern Superchargers will enjoy plenty of joy over the course of this match and likely dominate a struggling Manchester Originals unit. Although you can never predict anything with certainty in short form cricket, it would be a surprise if the hosts weren’t to triumph in this one.
