Prospects
Birmingham Phoenix
Last year’s result: Runners-up
First game: against Trent Rockets
Home ground: Edgbaston
Head coach: Daniel Vettori
Prospects: They topped the group stage to qualify for last year’s final. Phoenix is capable of producing results. The team’s balanced nature makes them strong contenders.
London Spirit
Last year’s result: Eighth in the group stage
First game: against Oval Invincibles
Home ground: Lord’s
Head coach: Trevor Bayliss
Prospects: It is a big job for them to immediately turn last year’s basement dwellers into title contenders.
Manchester Originals
Last year’s result: Sixth in the group stage
First game: against Northern Superchargers
Home ground: Emirates Old Trafford
Head coach: Simon Katich
Prospects: The Originals have the firepower to awaken from their 2021 slumber. They can mount a genuine top-three challenge.
Northern Superchargers
Last year’s result: Fifth in the group stage
First game: against Manchester Originals
Home ground: Headingley
Head coach: James Foster
Prospects: Superchargers were a tough contender last year. They slammed 200 against Manchester Originals. Wahab Riaz, David Willey, and Bravo are strong foils. Matt Potts will miss a large chunk due to England Test commitments.
Oval Invincibles
Last year’s result: Fourth in the group stage
First game: against London Spirit
Home ground: The Kia Oval
Head coach: Tom Moody
Prospects: Mohammad Hasnain, Jack Leaning, Matt Milnes, and captain Sam Billings come together. With these stars, Invincibles appear strong to push for the title.
Southern Brave
Last year’s result: Winners (beat Birmingham Phoenix)
First game: against Welsh Fire
Home ground: The Ageas Bowl
Head coach: Mahela Jayawardene
Prospects: De Kock and Marcus Stoinis are likely to be lost to international duty presently. Tim David’s form of belligerent hitting is set to help.
Trent Rockets
Last year’s result: Third (lost to Southern Brave)
First game: against Birmingham Phoenix
Home ground: Trent Bridge
Head coach: Andy Flower
Prospects: They have wicket-taking bowlers. A raft of all-rounders, top-order runs, and intimate knowledge of Trent Bridge is in the team.
Welsh Fire
Last year’s result: Seventh in the group stage
First game: against Southern Brave
Home ground: Sophia Gardens Cardiff
Head coach: Gary Kirsten
Prospects: The potential is present in the batting department. Jacob Bethell is an excellent batsman. Noor Ahmad, Naseem Shah, and Adam Zampa are the backbones of the team.
