Northern Superchargers vs Oval Invincibles Prediction & Betting Tips, The Hundred 2021
Northern Superchargers and Oval Invincibles meet at Emerald Headingley, Leeds on Saturday evening in the Men’s Hundred. The hosts are still yet to get their first win of the tournament after defeats to Welsh Fire and Trent Rockets and the abandonment of their game against Manchester Originals. Oval Invincibles are unbeaten with a win over Manchester Originals and a washout against London Spirit. This match gets underway at 18:00 local time.
Northern Superchargers will be without Ben Stokes who is now on England duty. Harry Brooks has impressed with the bat and could be the player to inspire them to their first victory.
After their London derby at Lord’s was washed out, Oval Invincibles have had to take a back seat. They have an excellent squad and many players who have played together over the years.

Northern Superchargers Team News & Playing 11
NOS Team News
Winless and currently next to bottom of The Men’s Hundred table, Northern Superchargers need to get their season moving or risk being left behind. They will be looking for the experienced players to come to the fore and put in big performances in this game.
NOS Key Players
- Chris Lynn - The Australian opener is a fixture on the T20 franchise circuit and is capable of posting big scores. In Ben Stokes’ absence, his importance to the side has grown.
- Harry Brook - Coach Darren Lehman will be keen to not put too much pressure on the talented 22 year old who continues to dominate the opposition’s bowling irrespective of the format.
- Adil Rashid - England’s leg-spinner could well bowl in tandem with Callum Parkinson again in this game. Rashid will be bowling to some of his ODI colleagues in this game.
3 games without a win was certainly not part of the script for Northern Superchargers. Darren Lehman will not be panicking yet but the victories need to start coming.

Oval Invincibles Team News & Playing 11
OI Team News
The Londoners will be missing Sam Curran from their only completed game of the tournament. He is a big loss with both bat and ball but they have an exceptionally strong squad and should be able to still perform at a high level. Expect Tabraiz Shamsi to come into the XI and add another spinning option.
OI Key Players
- Jason Roy - The powerful opener will have enviously watched Jonny Bairstow getting all the batting headlines over the last week. Expect him to attack from the first ball.
- Sam Billings - Oval Invincibles’ captain is now an established white ball international with a strong batting record. Top scored in their opening game win over Manchester Originals in the hundred.
- Reece Topley - All teams are looking for a point of difference in their bowlers and Topley provides a tall, left-arm option. He has been in excellent form over the last 18 months.
With only Sam Curran expected to miss a run of games due to his England call-up, this Oval Invincibles side will go from strength to strength and are genuine contenders.
Oval Invincibles Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Will Jacks, Colin Ingram, Laurie Evans, Sam Billings (c) (wk), Alex Blake, Tom Curran, Nathan Sowter, Saqib Mahmood, Reece Topley, Tabraiz Shamsi
