The bookies are backing Northern Brave to win. The team looks very strong on paper with players like Tim Seifert, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Scott Kuggleijn and Neil Wagner in the team.
Tim Seifert and Katene Clake will be two top batters. Both did well last season, scoring nearly 250 runs. Also, the captain Jeet Raval will also look for good performances.
Central Stags will rest hopes on Tom Bruce and Josh Clarkson, the two leading run scorers for the team last season. Also, Dale Clever is a very good addition to the team.
The bowling will rest on the shoulders of Tim Southee, Mitchell Santner and Scott Kuggeleijn, all very established T20 bowlers.
Jayden Lennox took 16 wickets last season and will be key once again for Stags. Spinner Ajaz Patel and pacer Blair Tickner are also wicket-takers in the team. Both did not play much last season and will be eyeing a good show this year.
Northern Brave are clear favourites. Tim Seifert, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Scott Kuggeleijn and Neil Wagner bring in a lot of international quality to the team. The experience of these players will come in very handy and also they are match winners on the day. For us, Northern Brave will start the match as favourites.
