London Spirit host Northern Superchargers in the next match of the women's Hundred 2023.
The game is due to start at 3pm BST on Friday, August 17.
London Spirit's home ground is Lord's in north London.
London Spirit go into this game with one win from five scheduled matches - two have fallen victim to the weather. However, that solitary victory did come in their most recent game, and against defending champions Oval Invincibles, whom they skittled for 97.
Northern Superchargers are on a hot streak in this year's competition, and have won four of their five matches to date, including each of their past three.
With the bat, Phoebe Litchfield leads the way for the Superchargers with 187 runs in the competition, striking at 146. Hollie Armitage (105 at 108) and Marie Kelly (100 at 119) have provided supporting acts. No Spirit batter has breached the 100-run barrier yet. Dani Gibson (86 at a strike rate of 141) is their top scorer.
With the ball, Superchargers have been excellent. Linsey Smith, Alice Davidson-Richards and Georgia Wareham each have seven wickets in the competition. The spinners of London Spirit have been miserly. Charlie Dean has gone at 96 runs per 100 balls, while Sarah Glenn has been even tighter, going at just 90.
It's the battle of two top-draw spin departments. In the Spirit corner, Glenn and Dean. In the Superchargers', Smith, Wareham and Lucy Higham. Whichever batting unit takes down the opposing tweakers to better effect secures victory for their side.
