Northern Superchargers host Oval Invincibles in The Hundred on Saturday, with the visitors aiming for a sixth win out of seven games.

The Invincibles sit top of the table as the only team to have registered five wins so far and Jordan Cox could wreak havoc once more for the reigning champions.

Team News

Two of the standout teams in this year’s competition meet at Headingly this weekend, both with the chance to all but seal a spot in the top three.

The prize on offer is significant. Although a place in the final is not yet mathematically guaranteed for the Superchargers, victory here would put them in a commanding position to make the Eliminator.

A win for the Invincibles and they will seal a spot in the final, avoiding the Elimination round altogether.

The Oval Invincibles enter as favourites, their dominance across five emphatic victories underlining their status as the team to beat. Yet the Superchargers are more than capable of derailing the defending champions.

The Invincibles have largely stuck with a settled side, though there has been some rotation among the bowlers. Saqib Mahmood returned to the side for the top-of-the-table clash with Trent Rockets last time out and is likely to retain his spot for this high-profile contest.

The Superchargers have named the same XI for the last three matches and no changes are expected for the home side for this huge clash.

​​The stats

The Invincibles have won 10 of their last 12 matches and head into this contest full of confidence, although past meetings suggest there is little to separate the teams, with two wins apiece from their four encounters to date.

Jordan Cox has been the standout performer for the Invincibles in recent weeks, top-scoring in their last three matches with innings of 86 not out, 56 and 58 not out.

The 23-year-old is also the team’s leading run scorer this season, amassing 256 runs, and looks well placed to deliver again. 

Cox’s form continues a remarkable summer in which he also struck 139 from 60 balls in the T20 Blast, the highest score of the competition.

The Invincibles have also been excellent with the ball, with Rashid Khan and Sam Curran taking 12 and 10 wickets respectively, with Khan top of the competition’s wicket-taking charts this season.

The Superchargers, meanwhile, have relied on Zak Crawley’s consistency at the top of the order, the opener scoring 214 runs from six innings to lead their batting charts and sit second to only Cox in the overall standings. 

Harry Brook and Dawid Malan have also been contributed with the bat, each scoring 145 runs from six innings.

Prediction

After winning their opening two matches, the Invincibles put in an uncharacteristic performance in defeat against Birmingham Phoenix but have bounced back well with three back-to-back victories since. Including a stunning run chase against the Rockets last time out, hitting 173 in 89 deliveries.

The Superchargers will put up stern resistance in the clash at Headingly, but the Invincibles' strength in depth should see them through this tough encounter.

Jordan Cox has been in fine form all summer with the bat, and the England international can once again outscore his teammates.

Back Jordan Cox to be the Oval Invincibles top run scorer at 3/1 with LiveScore Bet.
