The Hundred Tips Games Eleven and Twelve: Get ready for runs in Leeds

Northern Superchargers v London Spirit
Sunday 14 August, 14.30
TV: Live on Sky Sports

Team news

Superchargers are feeling the heat. They have suffered consecutive losses and the 'Dad's Army' tag needs to work to their benefit in the form of experience. Adam Lyth is no longer allowed to bowl after his action was deemed illegal. Harry Brook returns after England Lions duty.
Possible XI: Lyth, Du Plessis, brook, Pepper, Hose, Wiese, Bravo, van der Merwe, Raine, Rashid, Miles.

Spirit are three from three. they welcome back Dan Lawrence although it may be hard to find room for him after Daniel Bell-Drummond won man of the match against Brave.
Possible XI: Crawley, Rossington, Maxwell, Bell-Drummond, Morgan, Pollard, Thompson, Dawson, Ellis, Crane, Wheal

Pitch report

Headingley should be full of runs. Superchargers were probably way under par when posting 152 in defeat by the Rockets. Really, 160 should be a minimum on surface which has been one of the nest for batters in the country. Both teams to score 150 at 13/10 looks something of a steal. Bet the Sportsbook odds here

How to play

Spirit are now considered the real deal given that they go off at 1.758/11. We should expect to be able to get with the hosts at around 2.206/5 at least therefore. Backing London at such a price does seem something of a leap of faith still and it might be a little early to reckon they're worthy of support at short odds-on. Bet the match odds here

Tops value

Adam Rossington continues to look chunky for top bat - this time at 4/1 considering his opening berth for Spirit. Glenn Maxwell is 5/2 favourite. Du Plessis is boosted to 3/1 but his form is not as good as Lyth who is 11/4. Bet the Sportsbook odds here

Oval Invincibles v Southern Brave
Sunday 14 August, 18.30
TV: Live on Sky Sports

Team news

Invincibles should get key players returned after England Lions duty. Will Jacks and Sam Billings are expected to come back into the XI.
Possible XI: Roy, Jacks, S Curran, Billings, Cox, Cartwright, T Curran, Narine, Briggs, Topley, Hasnain

Brave have been dealt a blow with the new that Tymal Mills out for the season. Even with Mills the pace bowling looked a little light. Craig Overton is a major doubt after returning from Lions duty with a stiff back while Chris Jordan suffered ablow to the finger against Phoenix.
Possible XI: De Kock, Vince, Davies, Stoinis, Whiteley, David, Fuller, Jordan, Ahmed, Lintott, Hogan

Pitch report

There have been scores of 157 and 171 so far at The Oval. if the hosts bat first, it might be wise to go all guns blazing to try to put this creaking Brave attack under pressure. Alternatively, a slow start could give way to a cheeky runs bet late one. Going overs for big numbers is not the worst idea in the world given they are set up for late hitting.

How to play

This is pretty much a choice affair with Oval 1.9720/21. And they look the value here. Brave have significant issues because of the collapse of their pace attack. It was speed which won them the title last term and they suddenly look unsure in the field. Bet the match odds here

How to play

James Vince and Jason Roy have been boosted to 13/5 and 3/1 respectively for top brave and Invincibles bat. Roy is on a shocker of a run, though. Jordan is priced at 3/1 with Overton and Mills in the top bowler market for Brave so may have little to beat. Bet the Sportsbook odds here
