Southern Brave and Northern Superchargers are set to clash in the 21st match of The Hundred at the Rose Bowl in Southampton on Saturday.

Southern Brave lost two games on the trot at the start of their campaign. However, they bounced back with two consecutive wins and have regained some momentum. The Brave's previous game against Manchester Originals was eventually called off. They have picked up form and will want to continue to win and move up the table.

Similarly, the Northern Superchargers lost their first two games. With one abandoned game and two successive wins, they will be high on confidence coming into this encounter. The Superchargers registered a comprehensive 63-run win over the London Spirit last time around. They have broken into the top four and will look to continue their winning run.

Both teams started The Hundred on a poor note with successive losses. They have now put their campaigns back on track with wins and will be coming into this game with a lot of momentum. With both sides looking for a win, this should be an interesting battle.
