The Northern Superchargers will take on the Oval Invincibles in the 15th match of the Men’s Hundred 2023 at Headingley in Leeds on Friday (August 11). The first game of the Northern Superchargers was abandoned due to rain. They won their next two matches and they are currently looking in good form too. However, the Superchargers beat the Trent Rockets in their last match in a nail-biting contest. After being asked to bat first, David Wiese played a quickfire knock of 54* off 25 balls lower down the order to help the side put up 142 on the board. Wayne Parnell then claimed three wickets to restrict the Rockets to 139/7 for a three-run victory as well.
On the other hand, the Oval Invincibles are also unbeaten in the Men’s Hundred 2023. They have won two games so far and one game ended in a tie. They beat the Manchester Originals comprehensively in their last encounter and they will look to repeat their performance on Friday against the Superchargers as well. On the back of the fifties from Jason Roy (59) and Heinrich Klaasen (60), the Invincibles put up a decent total of 186 on the board. Spencer Johnson and Sunil Narine then claimed three wickets each to help their side knock over the Originals on 92 to eventually win the game by 94 runs as well.

The pitch at Headingley is a bit slow in nature where the new ball comes to the bat quite well and the batters can fully use this as well. The bowlers need to do a lot of hard work. And, the temperature is expected to be between 14 and 24 degrees Celsius as well.
