In the 26th match of the Women’s Hundred, the Northern Superchargers will lock horns with the Manchester Originals at Headingley in Leeds. It’s a clash between the second-placed team and the last-placed team in the competition.

The Northern Superchargers are on a roll in the tournament so far. They have won three of their six games and lost two, with one contest being washed out. The Superchargers have seven points to their name and are a win away from qualifying for the finals.

Getting off to a good start, the Superchargers have lost track as they have faced defeat in their last two games. They suffered a heavy loss against the Southern Brave in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables around. Jemimah Rodrigues has been brilliant for them but their bowlers have failed to back their batters. The players need to fire in unison to secure a top-four finish.

The Manchester Originals, on the other hand, are reeling at the bottom of the table. Nothing has gone right for them in the tournament as they have managed to win just once out of six games. The Originals have lost four with one game being washed out. They will be looking to finish the competition on a high.
