BIRMINGHAM PHOENIX MEN FORM: DOWNED BY BRAVE DESPITE DUCKETT HEROICS
The bowling of Birmingham Phoenix came up cold vs Southern Brave, taking just two wickets and conceding 169 runs. Such a score was always going to be really tough for the Phoenix to get and although opener Ben Duckett struck a brilliant 92, the hosts eventually fell 32 runs short.
NORTHERN SUPERCHARGERS MEN FORM: BROOK HELPS MAKE IT THREE STRAIGHT WINS
The success of Northern Superchargers is down mainly to their best players putting in match-winning performances. If it’s not Nicholas Pooran, it’s Harry Brook doing the damage and the latter’s half-century helped spearhead a winning score against Manchester Originals at the weekend.
BIRMINGHAM PHOENIX MEN BETTING ANALYSIS
Although he’s not had the start that he would have liked to the 2024 men’s Hundred, a player like Moeen Ali could well be one to step up for Birmingham Phoenix in a game like this. Moeen’s experience will be crucial moving forward and a bad patch of form is unlikely to concern him. With that in mind, consider backing Moeen to accumulate a score of 20+ runs via the ‘Batter Milestones’ market.
NORTHERN SUPERCHARGERS MEN BETTING ANALYSIS
When taking into account recent Northern Superchargers performances, you have to assume that either Nicholas Pooran or Harry Brook will do most of the damage with the bat, regardless of whether they are setting or defending a total. Instead of focusing on just one of these two world class batters, bettors should make a move on both, placing a stake on the pair via the ‘Team – Top Batter’ market.
BIRMINGHAM PHOENIX MEN VS NORTHERN SUPERCHARGERS MEN EXPERT PREDICTION
This is a match that could go either way, because even though Northern Superchargers are the form team of the competition with six points from the last six available to them, Birmingham Phoenix’s side on paper is still a very strong one despite a subpar recent performance against Southern Brave last time out.
Regardless of who takes the points on this occasion, Nicholas Pooran should still demonstrate his incredible ability to clear the boundary. It would be a big surprise if the West Indian superstar wasn’t to hit at least one match six across this contest.
