Pitch Report

The pitch at Headingley, Leeds assists the batters. This stadium had favoured the power hitters in the past. The skipper winning the toss will look down for chasing the target, and any score above 160 is not enough to defend on this pitch condition.

Match Prediction

Both sides have one victory against each other in the last two editions of the competition. The NOS team has a balanced squad as compared to BP. But stats say that they have lost three out of their 4 games at the Headingley. But being the hosting side we expect the Superchargers to play a good game this time and take away their first win of the 2023 season of the Hundred Ball Men’s.
