Preview

Northern Superchargers (NOS) will face Welsh Fire (WEF) in the third match of The Hundred Men’s 2025 on Thursday, August 7, at Headingley in Leeds. It will be the first game of the season for both teams. The Superchargers won five out of eight games last season and finished in fourth place. The Fire were in sixth position and won two out of eight games.

The Superchargers didn’t have a great outing in the tournament so far. Their fourth-place finish last season was their best performance since the inception of the league. Harry Brook is the captain of the team. He was appointed the captain of the side last season, and the team delivered a decent performance compared to previous years under him. Faf du Plessis and Wayne Parnell have captained the side in the past. Ben Dwarshuis and Brydon Carse have been ruled out of the tournament. They have been replaced by Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim.

The Fire has not qualified for the playoffs once in four seasons so far. Tom Abell was appointed the captain of the side in 2023 and will lead the side once again. Steve Smith, Chris Green, and Riley Meredith are three overseas players in the squad. Chris Woakes suffered a shoulder injury during the fifth Test against India and has been ruled out of the tournament.
