Northern Superchargers (NOS W) clash with Oval Invincibles (OVI W) in match No. 25 of The Hundred Women's 2025 at Headingley, Leeds, on Saturday, August 23.

The Superchargers have been in excellent form in the tournament. They have registered four wins from six games and are placed at No. 2 in the standings. Hollie Armitage and Co. are coming into this clash on the back of an eight-wicket win against London Spirit.

Meanwhile, Oval Invincibles have not had the kind of campaign they would have envisaged. They have two wins and four defeats from six games. In their most recent fixture, they lost to Trent Rockets by six wickets at the Kennington Oval.

Two games have been played so far at Headingley, Leeds, this season in The Hundred Women's competition. The average first-innings score has been around 129. There is enough assistance from the surface to keep the pacers interested. Spinners could come into play as the game goes on.

Lauren Winfield-Hill (C), Meg Lanning, Alice Capsey, Marizanne Kapp, Paige Scholfield, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Joanne Gardner, Phoebe Franklin, Kalea Moore, Daisy Gibb, Sophia Smale.

Former Australian skipper Meg Lanning is the leading run-scorer in the tournament this season. She has amassed 247 runs in six innings at an average of 41.16 and a strike rate of 149.69. Lanning has registered two fifties so far. The Invincibles will be looking for another solid start from the experienced campaigner.

Seasoned right-arm speedster Kate Cross has taken eight wickets in six games so far this season, averaging 17.12. She has a decent economy rate of 6.85. Her spell with the new ball could hold the key on Saturday.
