The Hundred | Northern Superchargers vs Oval Invincibles: Where to watch Live, Probable XI, Fantasy XI

Abhishek Singh

The Northern Superchargers head home once again and after having lost their first encounter at home, they would be looking for a change in fortunes. Their original skipper Faf du Plessis has been ruled out for the first three games and their stand-in skipper Ben Stokes is also out of action as he would be going out for national duties. 

The question for Superchargers now is to appoint a skipper for this game and most probably it will be Chris Lynn who would be given the opportunity to lead the side.

While Oval has had a long break and their last game was a washout, the Superchargers’ kast game also ended in a washout and hence both the teams would love to start on a winning note once again. But who will be able to do that? Only time can tell.

Rahul Dravid backing the young guns despite failure in T20I series

Rahul Dravid who accompanied India to their tour of Sri Lanka said that he wasn’t disappointed at the failure of the young guns. He feels that the youngsters will learn from this exposure and will improve by playing in more challenging conditions which was on offer in Sri Lanka. India lost the three-match T20 series 1-2 after losing out as many as nine of their first-choice players. The likes Ruturaj Gaikwad, Devdutt Padikkal, Nitish Rana and Sanju Samson struggled against a quality spin attack led by Wanindu Hasaranga and Akila Dananjaya. Despite their poor outings, Rahul Dravid is hopeful of them learning from the series. He is of the opinion that this experience will help them develop the art of digging it out in low scoring affairs and difficult pitches. "I am not disappointed as they are young. They are going to learn and get better only when they are exposed to these kind of conditions and quality of bowling. Sri Lankan team's bowling attack is an international bowling attack," Dravid said while assessing the overall performance in the series. Dravid blamed the friendly pitches in domestic cricket for the inability of young Indian batsmen to play quality spin. He admitted that there is a lot to learn for the young crop of batsmen of how to counter quality spinners on challenging tracks. "They would have liked to score a few more runs. They now have an opportunity to reflect that not all wickets are going to be flat. We need to find ways to scrap and score 130, 140 on these wickets," Dravid observed. "It's really a good learning as they are all young players. This is a great opportunity to reflect on these performances and may come up with some slightly better strategies. Let me be fair, we don't get these kinds of conditions very often in T20 cricket but when you do, I think, you have a responsibility to play slightly better," the head of National Cricket Academy said. Dravid was of the opinion that players of their generation had their fair share of struggles. He felt that the yesteryear batsmen played on spin-friendly track with some even being underprepared. "I think the wickets in domestic cricket may have got better -- one thing that is probably different when I was sort of starting while growing up the wickets tended to turn a little bit more. Honestly some of the wickets we used to play used to be under-prepared but wickets have got a bit better in Ranji Trophy which is great. I don't think the talent is missing it's just that you need the experience to figure out a few more stroke-making options in these kinds of pitches," he added. Barring skipper Shikhar Dhawan, India didn’t have an experienced batsman which proved to be their nemesis in the T20I series. Dravid felt that the blend of youth and experience wasn’t there in the last two matches owing to the unavailability of several first-choice players owing to strict covid protocols after Krunal Pandya tested positive for the virus. "It needs time and experience and you need to blood young players with experienced players so that you have that cushion. Obviously, last couple of games, we didn't have that cushion, most of the guys other than Shikhar were young."

The Hundred | Welsh Fire vs Manchester Originals: Where to watch Live, Probable XI, Fantasy XI

Welsh Fire, who have won both their games will face Manchester Originals who won the bounce against Birmingham Phoenix, having lost their opening match to Oval Invincibles. The Fire will miss the services of their dynamic leader Jonny Bairstow while Originals too will not have the luxury of having Jos Buttler by their side as both these leave for their national duty against India.

After its slowness during the Sri Lanka tour of England, it was feared that might just ruin the glamour of The Hundred. Weather Forecast Since the match is taking place in the afternoon, the templates would be around 20 degrees celsius and the chances of rain are very less.

Not thinking of full time coaching role yet says Rahul Dravid

Former Indian skipper Rahul Dravid who was the coach of the Indian team during their white-ball series against Sri Lanka stated that he has not yet thought of taking up this role on a permanent basis. He is currently the head of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) and visited with the Indian team to the island nation as Ravi Shastri was busy with the Test squad in England where they are busy preparing for the five-match Test series slated to begin on 4th August. Dravid admitted that there are a lot of challenges with full-time roles and despite enjoying his stint in Sri Lanka he hasn’t thought of anything far ahead. “I have enjoyed this experience but I have not thought of anything far ahead. I have been doing what I am doing,” he said I have not given any other thought but this tour and getting through the tour. I have enjoyed the experience of working with these guys, it has been great. I have not given any other thoughts to anything else. There are a lot of challenges in doing full-time roles, so I really don’t know,” Dravid further added. Dravid had earlier worked with the India U 19 team and was the coach when India lifted the U 19 title in 2018 under the captaincy of Prithvi Shaw. He has also with the Indian A teams but this was the first time he was working with the senior team. With as many as 9 players unavailable due to strict COVID protocols, India went onto lose the T20 series. Dravid felt that it wasn’t the easiest of conditions to bat on but agreed that Sanju Samson would be disappointed at the end of the series after his pretty ordinary showing. “It was not the easiest of conditions to bat in. In the one-day game that he got a chance, he got a very good start and got 46. In T20Is, it was a bit challenging, but yeah, when (you) would look back at the series, you would be a bit disappointed. But it’s not just Sanju, most of these young guys are talented and terrific players. We need to be patient with them,” Dravid said. “It was quite challenging after the first game, but I thought there are a lot of opportunities and learnings from games like these for the youngsters. It gives them exposure to international cricket. It is important for the players to hang in there and tackle the quality bowling line-up. The great positive for me is the way guys have fought," Dravid said.
