Joe Root has adapted well to the shorter format despite his classical approach to batting. He has 218 runs with a strike rate of 135.71 and has hit two fifties. Root greatly enhances his team’s top order with his ability to find gaps consistently to keep the scoreboard ticking, rotate strike with ease, and accelerate when needed.

To counter someone with classical technique, his opponents could employ Matthew Potts, who has speed and variations to disrupt Root’s rhythm, and his knack for bowling line and length will give Root no space for cheeky shots. Potts has taken nine wickets in The Hundred Men’s so far.

2. Marcus Stoinis vs David Willey

Marcus Stoinis vs David Willey is a battle of all-rounders. Stoinis has been excellent with 82 runs at a strike rate of 141.37 and eight wickets to his name. Stoinis is known for his big hitting and can change the course of the game with his ability to clear the boundary with raw power.

Willey has the ability to swing the ball in the air and also a killer slow delivery. He might not have scored many runs with the bat but has taken seven wickets at an economy of 8.03 with a best of 3/11. Known for excelling in bowling death overs, Willey can be an asset against Stoinis’ big-hitting abilities.

3. Adil Rashid vs. George Linde

Adil Rashid has been the best bowler by far in this Hundred Men’s competition for Northern Superchargers. He has seven wickets at an economy of 8.10, and has controlled run scoring well in middle overs. He has kept big-hitters at bay with his guile, deceiving them in the air and off the pitch with his spin.

George Linde has played only four games thus far but has 40 runs in 22 balls with a strike rate of 181.81. He has also taken two wickets with his spin, but his job is mostly to hit big shots in the final few deliveries. Adil Rashid might be employed against Linde to keep him quiet.
