Northern Warriors Preview
Currently sitting at 7th on the points table, the Northern Warriors have had a mixed campaign with 2 wins and 3 losses. Their batting has revolved around Sherfane Rutherford, who has amassed 179 runs, supported by solid starts from players like Finn Allen. Despite their competitive total of 111 in the last match, their bowling unit, led by Azmatullah Omarzai, has struggled to contain opposition teams, taking only 3 wickets in the tournament so far.
The Warriors will be banking on their experienced players like Colin Munro and the explosive batting of Rutherford to bounce back. To turn things around, their bowlers must step up and deliver at crucial junctures.

Alex Hales stole the show with a scintillating 75 off 30 balls, showcasing his aggressive intent. On the bowling front, Jimmy Neesham has been a standout performer, taking 6 wickets so far.
The Bolts will look to build on their recent success, with key contributions expected from their captain Mohammad Nabi and all-rounders like Shehan Jayasuriya. They will need to address their inconsistency to pose a serious challenge to the Warriors.
