LNS Team News
Although Dan Lawrence himself has not been in brilliant form over the last couple of games, he has seen his side pick up results and climb the table. They have selected a consistent team throughout The Hundred 2023 and we expect to see the same XI in this match.

- Adam Rossington- the powerful top order batter hit four fours and three sixes as he successfully took the attack to Northern Superchargers on Friday evening.
