MNR vs NOS Team Preview:

But they are boosted with three mega signings in form of Jos Buttler, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Andre Russell and are now favorites to challenge The Hundred 2022.

Top Picks for MNS vs NOS Match:
Top Picks – Batters
Faf du Plessis:
The veteran South African opening batter will be leading the squad this season after missing the last year with an injury. He scored 468 runs in 16 IPL 2022 matches at a strike rate of 127.52 and will be a good captaincy choice in this fixture.
Harry Brook:
The star English batter scored the highest 189 runs for Northern Supercharger in just 5 matches at an average of 47.25 and a strike rate of 153.65 last season. He is available for the opening five matches and will be the best batter for the team.
Top Picks – All-Rounders
Andre Russell:
The West Indies big hitter is one of the best all-rounders in T20 games and can make the same impact in the Hundred game as well. He last played any cricket in May in IPL 2022 where he took 17 wickets and scored 335 runs.
David Willey:
The star English all-rounder scored 132 runs at a strike rate of 155.29 and took 5 wickets in 7 matches last season. He will be a key all-rounder for Northern Superchargers with Ben Stokes not playing this year.
Top Picks – Bowlers
Adil Rashid:
The in-form English spinner was the best bowler for Northern Superchargers with 12 wickets in eight matches. He took six wickets against South Africa in the recent white-ball series.
Wanindu Hasaranga:
The Sri Lankan leggie dominated Indian Premier League 2022 and took 10 wickets in 5 white-ball matches against Australia last month.
Top Pick – Wicketkeeper
Jos Buttler:
The new English white-ball skipper is in great form in white-ball cricket and is available to play all the Hundred matches this season. He will be opening an inning alongside Salt and is a perfect captaincy choice for the Friday clash.
