Manchester Originals vs Northern Superchargers Predictions


The Superchargers are in great form with bat and ball, while the Originals are going through another bad run, so it’s an easy choice to back the Superchargers to win.

  • Northern Superchargers’ Zak Crawley has scored 67*, 29 & 45 in his last 4 innings.
  • Northern Superchargers’ Dawid Malan scored 58 off 34 balls against the Birmingham Phoenix.
  • Manchester Originals’ Jos Buttler has scored 22, 46 & 57 in his last 4 innings.
  • Manchester Originals’ Phil Salt has scored 60, 41 & 31 in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head


Northern Superchargers have won two and lost three of their last five matches against the Manchester Originals. The Originals won three of those matches on the bounce, but the Superchargers have won the last two matches between the sides.

Manchester Originals Form


Manchester Originals suffered their third defeat in four matches when they lost to the Welsh Fire by 25 runs. 

The Fire posted 137/8 off their 100 balls, Scott Currie (3/21) and Josh Tongue (3/25) doing the damage with the ball for the Originals. 

Jos Buttler (57 off 34) stood alone as the Originals were rolled for 112 off 97 balls. 

Manchester Originals Team News


The Originals need their top-order to come to the party before they lose out on any chance of making the playoffs.

Northern Superchargers Form


The Superchargers bounced back from defeat against the Rockets by beating the Southern Brave and then the Birmingham Phoenix. 

Zak Crawley (45 off 23) and Dawid Malan (58 off 34) got the Superchargers innings off to a great start, setting the foundation for the middle-order to lift their score to 193/5 off 100 balls. 

Matthew Potts ripped through the Phoenix top order, taking 3/26 as the visitors struggled to post 157/9 off their 100 balls.

Northern Superchargers Team News


The Superchargers are in great form and won’t be looking to make any changes to their line-up to take on the Originals.

Verdict

I am backing Northern Superchargers to win. I am also backing Zak Crawley to top score for Northern Superchargers.

Jos Buttler is a good bet to top score for the Manchester Originals.
