Northern Superchargers Preview
Northern Superchargers have impressed with five wins in the group stage, showing resilience with both bat and ball. Zak Crawley has been the standout performer, amassing 280 runs at an average of 46.66 with a strike rate of 163. Alongside him, Harry Brook has anchored the middle order brilliantly with 221 runs, while Dawid Malan continues to provide stability. However, reliance on their top three could be a concern if early wickets fall.
With the ball, Matthew Potts (9 wickets) has led the pace attack, supported by Tom Lawes and Jacob Duffy (8 wickets each). Adil Rashid has been economical and effective in the middle overs, claiming 8 scalps with precision. If their batting unit fires as a collective, the Superchargers could trouble the Rockets despite their underdog status.
Key Players: Zak Crawley, Harry Brook, Matthew Potts
Predicted XI: Zak Crawley, Dawid Malan, Dan Lawrence, Harry Brook (c), Michael-Kyle Pepper (wk), David Miller, Samit Patel, Tom Lawes, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid, Jacob Duffy

Their top order of Root and Banton provides solidity, while Rehan Ahmed’s all-round brilliance gives them a cutting edge. Their bowling attack is more varied compared to the Superchargers, with pace and spin options capable of defending totals or restricting chases.
