Pre-Match Analysis:
Northern Brave were too good for Central Stags, completing a comprehensive 55-run win in Friday’s clash at Hamilton. Experienced campaigners Jeet Raval and Tim Seifert put on a sizzling show, scoring 52 and 43 runs respectively and with the help of a late cameo from Brett Hampton, Brave put on a commanding 196 runs on the board. Central Stags never looked settled in the run-chase as they kept on losing wickets and were only able to pile up 141. Bowlers from both sides had a memorable evening where Central Stags’ Ajaz Patel got 3 scalps while New Zealand International’s Tim Southee, Scott Kuggeleijn, and Mitchell Santner caught the attention for Northern Brave.
Big names Will Young and Josh Clarkson who finished the National commitments are back for the Central Stags squad while Tom Bruce’s availability is subject to fitness. Northern Brave has made 3 changes from their previous win with Peter Bocock, Henry Cooper, and Freddy Walker replacing Tim Seifert, Mitchell Santner and Tim Southee who are picked for the 3 matches T20Is against Bangladesh.
