Manchester Originals vs Northern Superchargers Chance of Winning
Northern Superchargers will be the favourite to beat Manchester Originals in their upcoming match. As expected Manchester Originals have upped their ante in the last few matches. They are on a two match unbeaten run now, however, they are very likely to face defeats at the hands of Northern Superchargers. Even though Northern Superchargers have lost each of their last three matches, they will walk in as the favourites. Northern Superchargers possess a very talented batting group consisting of Adam Lyth, Matthew Short, Tom Banton, Harry Brook and Adam Hose. The bowling unit also features the likes of Wayne Parnell, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid and Reece Topley.
Manchester might have won their last two matches but their batting unit is relying heavily on the openers and the bowling unit also does not have enough firepower. In the last match as well, Paul Walter (27) was the only player after Phil Salt to score over 15 runs. Manchester can face a tough time against the glitter bowling lineup of Northern Superchargers.
MO chances of winning - 45%
NS chances of winning - 55%

Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Northern Superchargers
Northern Superchargers are the favourites to beat Manchester Originals in their upcoming match. Superchargers might have lost their last three matches but they still look a far better team than Manchester. They have a young and agile top-order capable of destroying any bowling attack. They also have a bowling unit which has four world class bowlers in Wayne Parnell, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid and Reece Topley. Manchester bowlers stand no match in front of their Superchargers counterparts. Also, Manchester's batting unit is highly inconsistent. Jos Buttler who fired in the beginning has stopped firing, Phil Salt stepped up last time and Adam Hose is also irregular in run-scoring. Northern Superchargers should easily beat Manchester Originals.
MO to win - 1.77 (Parimatch)
NS to win - 2.04 (Parimatch)
