The Hundred Men's 2023, Match 4, Northern Superchargers vs Birmingham Phoenix: Probable XIs, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, Live Stream Details
The Northern Superchargers will lock horns with the Birmingham Phoenix in the fourth game of the Men’s Hundred 2023 competition. The Headingley in Leeds will play host to this exciting encounter.
The Northern Superchargers didn’t have the best of seasons last year. They won four games and lost as many to finish the competition in the sixth position. They will be hoping to put up much-improved performances this year and make it to the knockout stages.
Wayne Parnell has been handed the responsibility of leading the Superchargers in the Men’s Hundred 2023. Parnell has plenty of experience and recently led the Seattle Orcas to the final of the Major League Cricket (MLC 2023). Harry Brook, Ben Stokes, David Wiese, and Adil Rashid have tons of experience and will play a key role for the Superchargers.
Birmingham Phoenix, meanwhile, won five games out of eight in the league stages in last year’s competition and missed out on a berth in the playoffs due to a poor net run rate. They will be looking to go one step ahead this time and hopefully go all the way.
English all-rounder Moeen Ali will be leading the Phoenix side in the Men’s Hundred 2023. Ali was part of the English side in the recently concluded Ashes series. He along with Ben Duckett, Liam Livingstone, Shadab Khan, and Will Smeed, are the most experienced players in the side and will be looking to step up in the tournament.
