The Invincibles have made a magnificent start to their Hundred campaign, securing two victories back to back. Whereas, the Superchargers have had a mixed start to their Hundred campaign, securing one win and suffering a heavy defeat in their opening two matches. 

Oval Invincibles defeated Birmingham Phoenix and Welsh Fire and are currently undefeated in the ongoing Hundred. Oval picked up a convincing eight-wicket win over Birmingham in the opening game while a close 10-run win against Welsh. The batters had a rough day but the bowlers did their job well, securing the win. Adam Zampa was outstanding with three wickets while Sam Curran and Nathan Sowter picked up two each. The Invincibles’ ability to seize momentum and capitalize on opposition mistakes has been evident, with several players stepping up at key moments of the game to deliver match-winning performances.

On the other hand, Northern Superchargers lost their opening game to Trent Rockets but managed to pick up a seven-wicket win in the last match against Southern Brave. Nicholas Pooran was stunning in the last match for Superchargers as the West Indies international smashed 62 runs off 34 deliveries Captain Harry Brook played a good cameo of 34* runs as Superchargers chased 147 runs in 85 balls. Among bowlers, Callum Parkinson had a good outing as he picked up two wickets. The Superchargers have the potential to be a force to reckon with, but they will need to function as a collective unit in both batting and bowling to go deep in the tournament.
