What's the match?

Northern Superchargers host Manchester Originals in the latest game of the women's Hundred competition.

When is it taking place?

The match is scheduled to commence at 3.30pm BST on Sunday, August 21.

Where is the match being played?

This is the first of a doubleheader at Headingley, with the men's fixture between the same two sides following this match.

Who's got the form?

Similar to the men's competition, there is no separating these two sides in the women's Hundred.

They both side on two points each, with a single win from their three games.

Superchargers' sole victory came against a sorry London Spirit, winning by five runs after defending 127.

Bess Heath hit a half-century but it was the death bowling from Alice Davidson-Richards, who defended 13 from the final set, that got them across the line.

Originals also got off the mark in their second game, overcoming Welsh Fire by 11 runs at Old Trafford.

It was a vintage display from Deandra Dottin, who hammers a 37-ball 67 not out. She was outscored by fellow-West Indian Hayley Matthews (69) in the chase but taking 2 for 21 with the ball proved crucial.

What's the team news?

Jemimah Rodrigues has been ruled out of the competition with a hand injury. She suffered the blow while playing for India in the Commonwealth Games but was able to get through two matches.

Gaby Lewis, who played against Birmingham Phoenix, has signed up as her replacement in between her Ireland commitments.

Originals have no fresh injury concerns and could be unchanged.

What's the key match-up?

Encouragingly for Originals, Sophie Ecclestone hasn't just been effective this season on the spinning track at Old Trafford.

She took 2 for 32 against Southern Brave at The Ageas bowl and having hit 36 not out earlier in the competition against Welsh Fire she comes into the contest in form in both facets of the game.

Those middle sets could see her come up against South African Laura Wolvaardt, the fifth-highest run-scorer from the opening rounds of matches.

She has reached double figures in all three knocks, registering 49 against Oval Invincibles, an unbeaten 24 against Spirit and 32 in defeat to Phoenix.

Can I get tickets?

There are limited tickets available for this match.

What's the weather forecast?

It is expected to be a clear afternoon in Leeds with temperatures in the late teens.
