In a cracking 13th game of the Hundred Women’s, the Northern Superchargers will lock horns with the Oval Invincibles at Headingley in Leeds on Saturday. The Superchargers are sitting at the top of the table with five points, while the Invincibles are in third place in the points table with four points.
Superchargers are on a roll in the competition. Their last game was washed out due to rain, but they were brilliant in their first two games.
Indian batter Jemimah Rodrigues has been sensational for the Superchargers, with two fifties in as many games. The Invincibles, meanwhile, have been a team to watch out for in the competition’s inaugural edition.
Led by overseas player Dane van Niekerk, they are yet to lose a game in the tournament. Marizanne Kapp and Van Niekerk have stepped up and utilised their international experience to good effect. Alice Capsey was excellent with the bat in the last game.
