Rose Bowl

Southern Brave will take on Northern Superchargers in match number eight of The Hundred Men's Competition 2023 at The Rose Bowl, Southampton on Sunday, August 6. The action will kick off from 7:00 PM IST.

Facts

  • Northern Superchargers' Harry Brook had top-scored with 29 off 17 balls when the side last played against Southern Brave.
  • Australia off-spinner Matthew Short picked two wickets for 9 runs in 10 balls in his first match of the The Hundred 2023 season.

Southern Brave vs Northern Superchargers Chance of Winning

Southern Brave registered a thrilling 2-run in their last encounter but we are backing Northern Superchargers to topple them in the upcoming contest.

Northern Superchargers’ bowling combination looks very comprehensive and ahead of Brave’s. The likes of Reece Topley, Wayne Parnell, David Wiese, Adil Rashid and Matthew Short are expected to choke their run-scoring.

Chris Jordan played an unbeaten 70-run knock off 32 balls to save Southern Brave from embarrassment and help them post 147/8 in 100 balls. The batter came to bat at eighth position and each of the seven batters before him failed. Big guns Devon Conway and Tim David are finding it hard to adjust in English conditions and have failed in both the matches. Finn Allen and James Vince also haven’t impressed and their third outing of the men’s Hundred 2023 season would again be a testing one.

Further, Northern Superchargers boast a batting line-up consisting of very experienced Adam Lyth accompanied by Tom Banton, Harry Brook, David Wiese, and Matthew Short. Northern Superchargers are expected to come good against Souther Brave.

Southern Brave vs Northern Superchargers Betting Odds

Southern Brave opening partnership to be under 19.5

The Southern Brave opening pair of Finn Allen and Devon Conway partnered for 41 runs off 38 balls in their opening match of the season. They managed to forge a partnership but it was an extremely slow one. In the second match against Welsh Fire, a 12-ball partnership saw them score just 14 runs.

Conway has been in sublime form off-late but is finding difficulty in adjusting to the English conditions. Finn Allen scored 28 runs but took 27 balls in his first match and followed it up with 21 off 15 in a fast 100-ball format. We had predicted that they would score under 19.5 runs against Welsh Fire and we are making a similar prediction for them against Northern Superchargers as well. Superchargers reduced Birmingham Phoenix to 84/5 before rain played spoilsport in their first match. The bowling unit consisting of Reece Topley, David Wiese, Wayne Parnell, Adil Rashid, Brydon Carse and Matthew Short would not make it easy for the Brave opening pair to score over 19.5 runs together.

Southern Brave vs Northern Superchargers Brave Top Team Batter

Devon Conway to be Southern Brave top batter

The New Zealand opener has failed to make an impact in the first two matches. He scored four off four in his last match against Welsh Fire and managed to score 16 runs off 15 balls in his first outing of the season. This is something very rare in a year in which he has dominated T20 cricket. He would be raring for a strong comeback against Northern Superchargers.

In the IPL 2023 for CSK, the southpaw scored 221 runs in seven matches at an average of 31.57. In the IPL 2023, Conway scored 672 runs - third-highest in the season. The 32-year-old finished as the fourth-highest wicket-taker in the inaugural season of Major League Cricket (MLC). He scored 221 runs at an average of 31.57 and a strike rate of 126.29.

Conway has played a total of 158 T20 matches and scored 5341 runs at an average of 43.77 and a strike rate of 129.44. Conway has two hundreds and 42 fifties to his name in the format.

Harry Brook to be Northern Superchargers' top batter

Harry Brook had some good outings in the Ashes 2023 where he displayed his aggressive batting to the best. Eyes will be on him on Thursday. The talented right-hander failed to impress in the last season, scoring just 85 runs in six matches and he would be aiming to rewrite his records this season. Having made his England debut in all the formats now and played in the IPL as well, Brook comes into the tournament with a lot more experience and confidence. Overall, he has featured in 110 T20 matches in which he has scored 2622 runs at an average of 32.37 and a strike rate of 146.23.

Southern Brave vs Northern Superchargers Top bowler

Chris Jordan to be Southern Brave's top bowler

We predicted that Chris Jordan would emerge as the leading wicket-taker for Southern Brave in their first match against Trent Rockets and the same happened as he picked three wickets for 18 runs in just 20 balls. He did not bowl against Welsh Fire and is expected to come hungry against Northern Superchargers.

The 2022 edition of the men's Hundred saw him pick three wickets in as many matches. But he has kicked off the new season in a very convincing way and the confidence will be on his side in the next match. In the Vitality Blast 2023, Jordan picked 15 wickets in 13 matches for Surrey. Overall, the pacer has featured in 323 T20 matches and picked 336 wickets at an average of 27.43.

Adil Rashid to be Northern Superchargers' top bowler

The veteran leg-spinner was highly economical in the first match against Birmingham Phoenix. He picked one wicket for just 14 runs in 17 balls. Another stellar outing is expected from the 35-year-old. He was the joint-highest wicket-taker for Superchargers last year. He picked eight wickets in eight matches at an average of 24.25. Rashid did not play any form of cricket after his stint in the IPL 2023 and would enter the competition fresh and hungry. In his last outing against Southern Brave, he picked one wicket for 20 runs in 20 balls. Overall, he has featured in 264 T20 matches and picked 294 wickets at an average of 23.18 and an economy rate of 7.47.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Northern Superchargers

Northern Superchargers might just pip Southern Brave in their upcoming match on the basis of a more competitive bowling unit which has the likes of Reece Topley, Wayne Parnell and Adil Rashid featuring in it. What can also work in their favour is the fact that the Southern Brave batting unit is struggling despite having some of the biggest names in the line-up. Northern Superchargers had reduced Birmingham to 84/5 when rain stopped their first match. They will enter the match fresh and high on confidence. They are the favourites to beat Southern Brave.
