    The Invincibles won convincingly in their last match on Wednesday, in no small part thanks to a stunning debut from Australian Spencer Johnson.

    The left-arm seamer took three wickets and conceded just one run in his 20 balls! How will he follow that up tonight?

    Northern Superchargers captain Wayne Parnell: "We probably would have batted as well but normally it's a pretty good wicket here at Headingley.

    "Two really good batting units so for the bowling units, it's going to be whoever executes best will most likely come out on top.

    "We'll have to assess and see what the wicket is doing then adapt."

    Oval Invincibles captain Sam Billings: "The sun's out, it looks a really good pitch and we did that well the other night.

    "We've started nicely and I think the last game was our best performance by some distance. We put it all together.

    "Spencer Johnson took the headlines with Heinrich Klaasen but I think, as a team, it was a great performance and different guys had stepped up when called upon.

    "It's been a collective performance so it's really pleasing at the moment."
