What's the match?

Northern Superchargers take on Southern Brave in the latest game of the 2022 men's Hundred.

When is it taking place?

The match is scheduled to start at 3pm BST on Wednesday, August 31.

Where is the match being played?

This match will take place at Headingley in Leeds.

Who's got the form?

Both teams have won three of their seven matches so far this season and neither can make the top three - with Manchester Originals and Oval Invincibles playing each other later in the day the only remaining challengers for a knockout stage place with a game still to play.

What's the team news?

Southern Brave could have Craig Overton available between Test squads. The south coast side have been heavily impacted by injury and absences all season. Teenager Sonny Baker, who became the first man to make his T20 debut in The Hundred, could feature again.

Northern Superchargers have lost Dwayne Bravo to the Caribbean Premier League. Harry Brook should feature between Test matches. Craig Miles has been a useful, replacement option.

What's the key match-up?

In two wildly inconsistent lineups, there is at least one constant: the batting of Adam Lyth. The Yorkshire opener has been in excellent nick for Superchargers, hitting 279 runs from seven innings at a strike rate of 186. Dismissing him early, with an under-strength bowling attack, will be critical for Brave. 

Can I get tickets?

There are limited tickets available for this fixture via The Hundred's website.

What's the weather forecast?

Cloudy skies and temperatures hovering around 19 degrees Celsius are expected in Leeds at the start of play, with a very small chance of rain.

What are the squads?

Northern Superchargers: Wayne Parnell, Harry Brook, Jordan Clark, Faf du Plessis, Adam Lyth, Callum Parkinson, Craig Miles, Adil Rashid, John Simpson, David Willey, Adam Hose, Roelof van der Merwe, David Wiese, Ben Raine, Michael Pepper

Southern Brave: Tim David, Alex Davies, George Garton, Jake Lintott, Sonny Baker, Craig Overton, Paul Stirling, James Vince, Ross Whiteley, Rehan Ahmed, Joe Weatherley, Dan Moriarty, Michael Hogan, James Fuller, Quinton de Kock
