The Northern Superchargers and Welsh Fire are set to begin their campaigns in The Hundred 2025 with a highly anticipated match at Headingley.
The Superchargers, led by the newly appointed England white-ball captain Harry Brook, will be eager to start strong after narrowly missing out on the playoffs last season. Their squad has been strengthened with some key additions, including Zak Crawley and Dan Lawrence, giving them a formidable batting lineup alongside Brook and the explosive David Miller. The home crowd will be hoping to see a vintage performance from their captain.
Meanwhile, Welsh Fire, who finished sixth last season, are aiming for a turnaround. They have added a world-class player in Steve Smith, who will bring his vast experience and a different dynamic to their batting unit. With the likes of Jonny Bairstow and Tom Kohler-Cadmore also in the ranks, the Fire have plenty of firepower themselves.

Headingley Pitch Report:
The Headingley pitch is known for its balanced character in T20 cricket, though it often gives an edge to the batters. The surface generally offers good pace and bounce, allowing batsmen to play their shots freely. While the pitch is conducive to scoring, there is also something in it for the bowlers. Seamers can find some movement with the new ball, particularly if there’s any cloud cover. As the game progresses, spinners can come into play and become a factor in the middle overs. Overall, it’s a good cricketing pitch where a high-scoring game is always a possibility.
