Northern Superchargers Preview
Northern Superchargers have been one of the most consistent teams this season with a perfect blend of power hitters and clever bowlers. Zak Crawley has been in superb touch at the top, giving blistering starts. With Dawid Malan’s elegance, Harry Brook’s leadership, and David Miller’s finishing prowess, their batting unit looks stacked. Michael Pepper adds balance as a reliable wicketkeeper-batter.
Bowling is equally threatening with England’s premier spinner Adil Rashid leading the attack. Veteran Samit Patel offers control with the ball, while Matthew Potts and Jacob Duffy handle pace responsibilities effectively. The Superchargers will be determined to bounce back after losing the last head-to-head at Old Trafford where Sonny Baker’s hat-trick stunned them. Playing at home, with crowd support at Headingley, they are eager to restore northern pride.
Predicted XI (Superchargers):
Zak Crawley, Dawid Malan, Dan Lawrence, Harry Brook (c), David Miller, Michael Pepper (wk), Tom Lawes, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid, Jacob Duffy, Samit Patel
Manchester Originals Preview
Manchester Originals, despite having a star-studded squad, have struggled for consistency in The Hundred 2025. Their batting looks formidable on paper with skipper Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, and Heinrich Klaasen capable of destroying any bowling unit. Young Ben McKinney and Rachin Ravindra add exciting flair to their line-up.
The bowling department is where Manchester needs stability. Sonny Baker was outstanding in the previous clash, picking up a hat-trick, and will be crucial again. Ish Sodhi’s leg-spin could trouble the Superchargers’ middle order while Josh Tongue and Scott Currie offer pace. Lewis Gregory adds valuable all-round balance. To succeed at Headingley, Manchester Originals must replicate their ruthless approach from the last match.
Predicted XI (Originals):
Phil Salt (c), Ben McKinney, Jos Buttler (wk), Rachin Ravindra, Heinrich Klaasen, Matty Hurst, Lewis Gregory, Scott Currie, Ish Sodhi, Josh Tongue, Sonny Baker
Squads
Northern Superchargers: Zak Crawley, Dawid Malan, Dan Lawrence, Harry Brook (c), David Miller, Michael Pepper (wk), Tom Lawes, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid, Jacob Duffy, Samit Patel

Favourite Team in Today’s Match
Northern Superchargers enter this clash as the stronger side due to their consistency and balance across departments. They have multiple match-winners like Crawley, Brook, and Rashid, who can turn the game at any point. Playing at Headingley gives them added confidence with crowd support behind them. In contrast, Manchester Originals rely heavily on their star batters—Salt, Buttler, and Klaasen—and if they fail, the team struggles. Their bowling, although boosted by Baker’s form, lacks depth compared to the Superchargers. With a better record in the tournament and home advantage, Northern Superchargers look the more settled and reliable side to win today’s derby.
Pitch Report
The Headingley surface generally assists batters with a good bounce, allowing stroke play. However, spinners like Rashid and Sodhi could find grip in the middle overs. Expect a competitive total around 150-160.
Weather Report
Clear skies are expected in Leeds with pleasant conditions for cricket. No rain interruptions are forecast. Temperature will hover around 19°C.
