    It's all to play for as we head into our second game of the day at Emirates Old Trafford!

    Manchester Originals beat Northern Superchargers in the women's game and if the men can follow suit, they will move up to second and be in a good position to secure a place in the top three.

    However, a Superchargers victory would keep them firmly in the hunt for a qualification place. That would put them on seven points, level with Originals, Trent Rockets and Southern Brave.

    Whoever wins today, it is all set up for an exciting climax to the group stage...
