This article will talk about the probable XIs for both teams and continue with the Dream11 predictions and the winning fantasy team for Match 21 of “The Hundred” between Southern Brave and Northern Superchargers that is scheduled to take place on the 7th of August 2021.
The Northern Superchargers who are in the 4th spot with 2 wins and 2 losses in their first 5 games will be playing against the Southern Brave at Southampton. The James Vince-led Bravo though will be playing on Thursday against the Originals before this clash.
Southern Brave now has won 2 games in a row after losing their first 2 in this competition. The last 2 completed games of Southern Brave were rather close and they won them both, especially the one against the London Spirit.
The Northern Superchargers led by David Willey registered a 63-run win over the London Spirit’s in their last game. Batting first, they made 155/3 in their allotted 100 balls thanks to Willey’s 45-ball 81. With the ball, they restricted the Spirit to just 92/9 with Ben Raine being the pick of the bowlers taking 3/20. He was ably supported by Adil Rashid, David Willey, and Mujeeb who all took 3 wickets apiece.
Match Details
Venue: Rose Bowl, Southampton
Pitch and Weather: Generally, a high-scoring venue and the first “Hundred” match between the Brave & London Spirit is an example. The surface will also aid the pacers like all pitches in England does but we can expect plenty of runs. The sky is expected to be partly cloudy throughout the game and there is a forecast for rain. Temperatures are expected to be around 18C during the course of the game.
Date and Time: August 7, 2021, 7.00 PM Local, 11.30 PM IST
Probable Playing XIs
The batting and bowling of the Northern Superchargers clicked in the last game against the London Spirit. David Willey was fantastic with both ball and bat while getting good support from many of the players in both departments. So they would most likely play with the same XI.
The Southern Brave won the game in a close finish in their last completed game but would want to score much more than what they did against the London Spirit on Sunday. Paul Stirling will most likely play in place of the injured Devon Conway.
Northern Superchargers
Adam Lyth, Chris Lynn, Harry Brook, Faf Du Plessis/ Dane Vilas, David Willey(Capt), Brydon Carse, John Simpson (wk), Jordan Thompson, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Adil Rashid, Matt Potts
Southern Brave
James Vince (capt), Paul Stirling, Quinton De Kock(wk), Alex Davies, Colin de Grandhomme, Ross Whiteley, Liam Dawson, George Garton, Chris Jordan, Jake Lintott, Tymal Mills
Match Prediction
Southern Brave are favorites as they are playing at their home ground and the recent form is behind them after winning 2 of their recent games.
Fantasy Tips
Batsmen: Harry Brook of Northern Superchargers has been in tremendous form with the bat and he is their highest run-sorer with 175 runs in 4 games. Chris Lynn is a dangerous player in this format and has played a match-winning knock in one of the games. Brave’s captain James Vince has scores of 60 and 40 in his last 2 knocks and also made an ODI century not so long ago.
Wicket-Keepers: Quinton De Kock of Southern Brave is a fantastic opener and can be picked as one of the wicket-keepers of the fantasy XI along with Alex Davies.
All-rounder: David Willey is an obvious choice especially after his match-winning 81 in the previous game. Chris Jordon can be the lone all-rounder in the side as he can contribute with the bat as well to go with his wicket-taking ability. Ben Raine, who took 3/20 in the last game can be picked as he is good with the bat as well.
Bowlers: Adil Rashid picked 8 wickets in this Hundred edition for the Superchargers and his selection is a no-brainer. Mujeeb and Lintott, the spinners from either side can be picked in the fantasy XI.
Captaincy Choices
Fantasy Team: James Vince, Quinton De Kock, Chris Lynn, Harry Brook(C), David Willey, Ben Raine, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid(VC), Jake Lintott, and Mujeeb-ur-Rahman
Captain: Harry Brook
The youngster has been in tremendous batting form for the Superchargers throughout this competition and can be selected as the captain of the side.
VIce-Captain: Adil Rashid
England’s first-choice white-ball spinner has taken 8 wickets thus far in just 4 games in this tournament. So he is one of the best picks to be the vice-captain of the side.
