- Nicholas Pooran has scored the most run's in the Men's Hundred this season
- The Manchester Originals have lost all three of their games in The Hundred
- Recommended bet: Nicholas Pooran Northern Superchargers Top Run Scorer

The Northern Superchargers have built up some momentum to climb into contention in the men's Hundred, and they will be expected to beat the Manchester Originals at Headingley on Sunday.

Two wins on the bounce for Andrew Flintoff's team have given them a boost, while the Originals remain winless with confidence low in their dressing room.

Team News

Having beaten pre-tournament favourites, the Oval Invincibles, Flintoff is unlikely to make any changes to his team, which will be led by captain Harry Brook.

Jason Roy will be unavailable, having pulled out of the tournament due to injury.

England white-ball captain Jos Buttler will be unavailable for the Originals, having been ruled out of the tournament with a calf injury.

Coach Simon Katich may make changes to his team after three straight defeats.

The stats

The Northern Superchargers have turned their fortunes around in the last few days in The Hundred. Flintoff's team suffered five straight defeats towards the end of last season's competition before losing their opener in July.

However, they have since bounced back with successive wins, thanks to Nicholas Pooran's recent form.

Pooran has hit 137 runs in three innings, including 10 sixes, while his average of 68.5 is the highest in the men's competition so far.

The Originals have lost three games in a row, and they will do well to keep Superchargers bowler Matthew Potts quiet, as he has five wickets to his name already.

Prediction

The Superchargers will be brimming with confidence after their win over the Invincibles at the Kia Oval.

Flintoff's team made a statement with that win on Friday, and once again they had Pooran to thank.

His decisive unbeaten 65 proved the difference, and the Superchargers' first pick in the 2024 Hundred draft has already started to repay them.

Pooran hit four sixes and four fours to guide the Superchargers to victory, and he should be able to set the standard once again.

The 29-year-old has averaged 68.5 so far this season, and if he can maintain that form, he should be the one to lead the hosts' batting attack.
