It's no secret that Northern Superchargers, with the talented Harry Brook leading the charge, will be a formidable team to face in The Hundred. On the other side of the pond, Joe Biden's presidency is coming to an end as he announced his decision to not run for re-election in the upcoming US elections. But just a short walk away from the Houses of Parliament, the Oval Invincibles are gearing up for another shot at the men's title in The Hundred.
Like any political decision, the latest short-format cricket tournament has its fair share of critics. However, the passionate fans flocking to Kennington to witness the action firsthand can't get enough of it. And why not? The Oval Invincibles put on a show last year, living up to their name with a series of unbeatable performances that led them straight to the championship.
This year, they're back with an even stronger squad, which includes the addition of England's white-ball powerhouse, Dawid Malan. With an impressive record in The Hundred two years ago and a current average of 42.00 in the T20 Blast, Malan is expected to lead the charge alongside the talented Will Jacks at the top of the batting order. The middle order is also bolstered by the likes of Donovan Ferreira, Sam Billings, Jordan Cox, and the dynamic all-rounders, Tom and Sam Curran.
But it's not just the batting that makes the Oval Invincibles a force to be reckoned with. Their bowling attack is equally top-notch, with Australian pace ace Spencer Johnson returning to lead the charge after a successful stint with Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League. Spinners Adam Zampa and Nathan Sowter will also play a crucial role in taking wickets, with the Curran brothers providing valuable support.
However, their opponents in this year's final may very well be the Northern Superchargers. Led by the explosive Harry Brook and the West Indies' Nicholas Pooran, this team has the firepower to light up the field with their batting. And with Reece Topley and Adil Rashid leading the bowling attack, they have the potential to cause some serious damage to their opponents' stumps. And let's not forget that certain Ben Stokes may also make an appearance in their lineup.
Punters looking to place a bet on the outcome of The Hundred can consider an each-way flutter on the Superchargers at 7/1, offered by top bookmakers such as Ladbrokes, Coral, and William Hill. But for those looking for a clear favorite, the Oval Invincibles are the ones to back at 4/1 with bet365 and Sky Bet.
In the upcoming match between the Oval Invincibles and the Birmingham Phoenix, all eyes will be on Dawid Malan, who is favored at 5/2 by bet365 to be the top scorer for his team. Meanwhile, the visitors' chances will rely on Liam Livingstone, who is priced at 12/5 by the same bookmaker to hit the most runs.
In other news, it seems that Arsenal's goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale may have to look for a new home this summer if he wants to secure his spot in the England squad under the new manager. And according to top bookmakers such as Ladbrokes, Coral, Paddy Power, and Betfair, Newcastle is the most likely destination for him, with odds of 4/6. However, bet365 is offering more favorable odds of 4/1, so punters looking to make a profit should take advantage of this opportunity.
