It’s the 27th match between Manchester Originals and Northern Superchargers at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester, commencing on August 20th at 7:00 PM IST.
Manchester Originals vs Northern Superchargers Match Preview
Northern Superchargers’ momentum has taken a hit recently, losing their last three games after an impressive unbeaten streak of three. They’ll be eager to get back on track following Friday night’s defeat to London Spirit, thanks to Ravi Bopara’s stellar performance.
However, in a closely-fought competition, they still stand in contention with five points but can’t afford another setback. On the other side, Manchester Originals hold the third position, just one win ahead of Superchargers, and they previously secured a victory against them, albeit with DLS assistance.
The key battle to watch out for is between Jos Buttler, the tournament’s leading run-scorer for Originals, and Reece Topley, the leading wicket-taker for Superchargers. As England World Cup teammates, their clash from the very first ball of the match will set the tone.
Additionally, Originals have the in-form Jamie Overton, who unleashed a blitzing 30-ball 83 in their previous encounter, posing a challenge Superchargers need to address. Phil Salt, fresh from a blistering 86 against Trent Rockets, is another threat Superchargers must contain early on.
