The Hundred Men’s, 2021, Match 13, Northern Superchargers vs Oval Invincibles, Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match?

Preview

Northern Superchargers and Oval Invincibles are set to cross swords in the 13th match of the Men’s edition of the Hundred on Saturday, July 31. The Superchargers are currently placed right at the bottom of the points table with losses in their first two games against Welsh Fire and Trent Rockets.

Moreover, Ben Stokes’ absence won’t help their cause either for the rest of the tournament. The Invincibles, led by Sam Billings, on the other hand, are placed in the middle of the table. After the nine-run win over Manchester Originals, their second match against London Spirit got washed out.

Probable best batter of the match

Jason Roy— Oval Invincibles

Jason Roy has been a lethal prospect with the ball for England over the years. He has been a primary reason behind the Three Lions’ domination in the tournament. In the first game in the Hundred, he started on a handsome note, hitting four fours and looked good after scoring 20. But Tom Hartley dismissed him. He will now be looking to get a big score under his belt.

Probable best bowler of the match

Sunil Narine— Oval Invincibles

Sunil Narine has bamboozled a number of batters over the years. He has been a tough nut to crack, especially in T20 cricket. The off-spinner has a plethora of variety up his sleeves. Against the Originals, the veteran gave away on 22 runs off his 20 balls and also picked up the wicket of Jos Buttler. Not to forget that Narine is more than handy with the bat in hand.
