Northern Superchargers skipper Harry Brook could prove to be the key batter for Northern Superchargers in their opening clash.

He has scored 675 runs in 24 innings in The Hundred, and has shown his consistency and match-winning potential.

Probable Best Bowler: Adil Rashid

The leg-spinner Adil Rashid could play a crucial role with the ball in the upcoming clash.
