Welsh Fire women, like their men's counterparts, are yet to win a game in the tournament. They have played four matches and succumbed to losses in all games. They were defeated by London Spirits in the last game. The batting once again let the team down as the team could only manage 119, which was easily chased by Spirits with eight wickets to spare.
Meanwhile, Northern Superchargers have fared a little better as they have won two of the four games they have played. They picked up a big win over Manchester Originals in the last game as they chased the target of 160 with seven wickets to spare. Laura Wolvaardt was the top performer as she scored 90 runs to lead her team to a win.
The wicket is a good one to bat. There will not be much on offer for the bowlers and batters are likely to dominate the game.
The weather will be slightly cloudy but there is no threat of rain. The temperature will hover around 20 degrees

Both teams met once last year and Northern Superchargers won by 6 wickets.

The destructive South African was at her brutal best in the last game and helped her team make a mockery of the 160 run target. Wolvaardt scored 90 runs in just 49 balls including 13 fours and 2 sixes to lead her team to a win.
Alyssa Healy has played some good cameos for Northern Superchargers women in the tournament, however, a big knock is still pending. She scored 46 against Birmingham Phoenix women and made 25 against Manchester Originals. She is not far away from a big score.
Heather Graham can be a good pick for us due to her all-round abilities. Graham is a middle order batter and a very potent pacer who can test the Welsh Fire batters.
No player from Welsh Fire has performed well thus we need to select players who have done well in the past and Tammy Beaumont is one such player who has been in decent touch of late.
She is another player who can be selected based on her all-round skills. She is a good batter and if it's her day, she can chip in with a few wickets as well.
