The Northern Superchargers will play against the Birmingham Phoenix in the fourth game of the Men’s Hundred 2023 Competition at Headingley in Leeds on August 3. The Northern Superchargers didn’t have a great season last year as they won four games and lost as many and finished the competition in the sixth position as well. They will be hoping to put up a good show this year and reach the knockout stages. Wayne Parnell will lead the Superchargers. He has plenty of experience and he recently led Seattle Orcas to the final of the MLC 2023 as well. Harry Brook, Ben Stokes, David Wiese, and Adil Rashid are expected to play key roles for the Superchargers.

Birmingham Phoenix, on the other hand, won five games out of eight in the league stages last year and missed out on the playoffs berth due to a poor net run rate as well. They will try to do well this time and hopefully reach the playoffs as well. However, veteran England all-rounder Moeen Ali will be leading the team and he was a part of the side in the recently concluded Ashes series. He along with Ben Duckett, Liam Livingstone, Shadab Khan, and Will Smeed are likely to do well this time in the tournament.
