THE TEAM NEWS
NORTHERN SUPERCHARGERS WOMEN
- Northern Superchargers missed out on the opportunity to maintain their winning streak after seeing their third match of the Hundred vs Manchester Originals washed out at Emirates Old Trafford.
- The abandonment takes them to five points overall, keeping them comfortably inside the top three heading into this important home fixture vs Oval Invincibles.
- The Superchargers aren’t expected to make any changes providing the pitch doesn’t show any signs of demons upon examination, whilst opening batter Jemimah Rodrigues will be hoping to increase her lead at the top of the run-scorers chart having accumulated 152 runs so far.
OVAL INVINCIBLES WOMEN
- Two wins from two for Oval Invincibles puts them in an excellent position heading into this encounter, with their most recent triumph a 15-run win over local rivals London Spirit.
- The star of the show at Lord’s was 16-year-old Alice Capsey opening the batting for the Invincibles as the Surrey star scored a brilliant half century to lay the foundations for her side to score 132/7, ultimately a winning score.
- South African all-rounder Marizanne Kapp did not feature against the Spirit and could well come back into the Invincibles team here, with her replacement Joanne Gardner dropping out.
THE PREDICTION
Two unbeaten sides do battle in what should be an absolute thriller at Emerald Headingley. The two highest run-scorers in the women’s Hundred also go head-to-head as Oval Invincibles’ Dane van Niekirk looks to beat out Northern Superchargers’ Jemimah Rodrigues, with both capable of single-handedly winning this match for their respective team. The batting line-up of each side is strong and this contest will likely be decided by which bowling unit performs better. This is where the world class right-arm pace bowling of Shabnim Ismael could well come to the fore for the visitors and when combined with the left-arm fast bowling of Tash Farrant, alongside the spin of both van Niekirk and Mady Villiers, Oval Invincibles may just have the edge in this one.
