The Hundred 2022 continues on Friday 19 August when Birmingham Phoenix host the Northern Superchargers. This game takes place at Edgbaston and this might give Phoenix an edge over a team who have been struggling to get wins on the board.
Birmingham began the season with a six-wicket defeat against Trent Rockets, although they have bounced back to secure three consecutive victories. There was a stupendous 53-run win over a hapless Southern Brave team who only managed to last 85 balls.
Will Smeed was the standout performer with the bat on this occasion, while there was a more slender triumph against Welsh Fire in Cardiff, although arguably their best performance of the campaign thus far came when wreaking revenge against Trent Rockets.
The Midlands side only needed 86 balls in order to surpass their opponents’ total of 145/6, with Moeen Ali whipping 52 runs off 28 balls in what was a truly virtuoso performance.
Luke Wood was equally as adept with the ball when taking three wickets with his twenty balls that were bowled, with Northern Superchargers unlikely to live with such lively opponents.
The Superchargers have only won one of their four Hundred games played thus far, with the latest match seeing them turned over by London Spirit by seven wickets and the latter were home and dry after 82 balls.
