    London Spirit captain Eoin Morgan: "It's a used wicket so batting first and defending a score might best way to go.

    "It’s been testing for us as a team, but the next few games for us are a learning curve going into next year. The close games were the hardest for us, because we didn’t win the key moments and that’s why we find ourselves at the bottom of the table.

    "We want to give opportunities to guys who haven’t played yet so there are a few changes. We would love to still be in the tournament at this stage but it’s exciting to see our young players get a go.

    "We’ve missed Shane Warne’s experience and expertise as coach, but he’s doing well and should be out of isolation on Thursday."

    We're going to see Eoin Morgan's men setting a total for the Originals to chase.

    London Spirit are already out of the competition, but Manchester Originals have a chance of qualifying as they are currently in fifth, even though they've had some rotten luck with the rain. The Spirit will be hoping to spoil their party tonight.
