Northern Superchargers secured their first win in The Hundred this season with a 147 for 3 victory over Southern Brave. Nicholas Pooran, who had been first pick in The Hundred Draft, was dominant from the start, demonstrating the power of using one's own bat. Captain Harry Brook supported Pooran in a 50-partnership and was present at the end to help the team win the match.
Southern Brave, who were not at their best, faced off against Pooran with the bat and Adil Rashid with the ball. Rashid's 1 for 19 contributed to Brave's total of 146 for 8, but James Vince and his side would have felt in the game. Pooran's performance from the 15th ball onwards was impressive, with the West Indian hitting five sixes and giving the Leeds crowd a taste of the game.
Pooran expressed his excitement for the win, stating that the team played brilliantly and that the atmosphere was lovely in England. The match was a testament to the team's resilience and determination in the face of a challenging competition.
