The Hundred Men’s 2025 | Match - 14, NOS vs BPH | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Northern Superchargers will lock horns with Birmingham Phoenix in match 14 of The Hundred Men’s 2025 at Headingley in Leeds. Superchargers currently stand in 3rd place in the league table with one win from one game. Meanwhile,  Phoenix find themselves at 7th position, having lost their first match.

Northern Superchargers have made a strong start to their 2025 campaign, winning their opening game in dominant fashion against Welsh Fire. Their batting unit, led by Zak Crawley, looks in excellent rhythm, while the bowlers have been clinical in applying pressure. Sitting comfortably in the top half of the table, they’ll be eager to build on their early momentum at home.

On the other hand, Birmingham Phoenix enter this fixture looking to bounce back from an inconsistent start to the season. While Liam Livingstone’s explosive batting remains their biggest weapon, the team needs more collective consistency, especially in the middle order and bowling attack. A win here would be vital to revive their campaign and climb from the lower half of the table.
