The Superchargers turn to more spin in the form of Linsey Smith...

Target 113
That good start from Georgia Wareham turns into an impressive 10 deliveries on the spin. The Australia international concedes only 10 runs.
The Superchargers are favourites according to Win Viz.
Originals 27-1published at 55 balls left
Leggie Georgia Wareham comes into the attack and almost bowls Emma Lamb on the sweep. That missed by an inch or two.
Lamb repeats the shot a ball later, this time connecting but only chipping the ball up in the air. Lucy Higham is an excellent fielder but can't make up the ground at deep square leg.

Need 88 runs from 60 balls
Image source, Getty ImagesKate Cross is bowling for the Superchargers now against the team she previously played for - a team based at the ground she grew up playing at. A funny feeling? I imagine so.
Cross loses her discipline a little in giving away run with a no-ball. Deandra Dottin fails to connect with the free hit but smacks the following delivery away for four.

Need 97 runs to win
Now retired West Indies star Deandra Dottin is the new batter.
There's a lot on the shoulders of these two now.

And another!
New batter Ami Campbell plays across the line to spinner Lucy Higham and is plumb lbw when the ball hits her pad.
The Manchester Originals are struggling.

Wolvaardt run out Ballinger 5 (Originals 11-1)
What was that!? After hitting that boundary, Emma Lamb has run out her batting partner Laura Wolvaardt in horrific fashion.
She has just tapped the ball straight back to bowler Grace Ballinger, set off and has left Wolvaardt miles out when the youngster throws down the stumps.
Originals 11-0published at 71 balls left

The Superchargers have to dry the ball with their towels afterwards.

And just like that we're going to get under way.

Northern Superchargers will join Southern Brave on eight points at the top of the table of they do win this.
Manchester Originals would move level with their cross Pennine rivals on six if they win.

We only need to fit 25 balls in to make this a contest.
We have a bit of time to play with too.
The rain isn't as heavy as it was.
