Northern Superchargers vs Birmingham Phoenix Preview:
Northern Superchargers( NSC ) is set to face Birmingham Phoenix( BP ) in their 14th match during The Hundred Mens Competition 2025. This match is scheduled to take place at the The Headingley on Friday, August 15.
It came down to the very last ball, but Harry Brook and the Northern Superchargers won’t mind one bit as they got back to winning ways on the south coast, edging past Southern Brave on Wednesday evening.
Their victory was set up by a strong bowling performance, led by New Zealand duo Jacob Duffy and Mitchell Santner, who shared five wickets between them. Duffy was outstanding with 3/26, while Santner chipped in with 2/24. It was a true team effort, with none of the bowlers going for more than 1.75 runs per ball in Southampton.
With the bat, the Superchargers have the luxury of a flexible batting order, but in Zak Crawley, Dawid Malan, Harry Brook, and Dan Lawrence, they boast four powerful ball-strikers who can take the game away in a hurry.
After back-to-back defeats, questions were beginning to surface around Birmingham Phoenix, but they silenced the doubters with a much-needed first win of the season against the league leaders at Edgbaston on Tuesday.
Veteran pacer Trent Boult set the tone, striking early to remove Will Jacks and Tawanda Muyeye within the first 15 balls, and Phoenix will hope for more of the same from him at Headingley. Fellow Kiwi Adam Milne picked up two wickets, while Benny Howell continued his excellent tournament with another two dismissals.
With the bat, captain Liam Livingstone was in dazzling form, blasting 69 off just 27 balls, and will be eager to carry that momentum forward. Will Smeed, who made a half-century against the Invincibles, adds further firepower at the top, and with Ben Duckett, Joe Clarke, and Jacob Bethell completing the top five, Phoenix have plenty of batting depth to trouble any attack.
NSC vs BP Possible Playing XI:
Northern Superchargers: Harry Brook (c), Zak Crawley, Dawid Malan, Michael Pepper (wk), Dan Lawrence, Graham Clark, Mitchell Santner, Tom Lawes, Adil Rashid, Matthew Potts, Jacob Duffy.

We’re hoping the team wins the toss and chooses to bowl first.
NSC vs BP Pitch Report:
Headingley offers a quick and lively surface, especially in the early overs. Fast bowlers can get extra bounce and some seam movement under lights. However, it’s generally a good batting track in T20s, with true bounce and shorter boundaries allowing stroke-makers to play their shots freely. Chasing teams have had a slight advantage here, so expect the captain winning the toss to opt for bowling first.

At 6:30 PM on August 15, Headingley in Leeds is expected to enjoy mostly sunny and mild conditions, with temperatures around 23 °C (73 °F).
