Northern Superchargers Women: Phoebe Litchfield, Marie Kelly, Jemimah Rodrigues, Hollie Armitage (c), Alice Davidson-Richards, Bess Heath (wk, Georgia Wareham, Kate Cross, Linsey Smith, Lucy Higham, Grace Balinger.
Phoebe Litchfield: Phoebe Litchfield continues to make headlines with the bat. She is the highest run-scorer in the tournament currently with 225 runs at an average of 45. She will be undoubtedly the best captaincy choice ahead of this game.
Sophie Ecclestone: The MNR-W skipper will be another safe captaincy option ahead of this game. We all know how much the conditions at Old Trafford are suitable for spin bowling, and Ecclestone being one of the best spinners in the world will undoubtedly start this game as one of your captaincy picks.
Linsey Smith: Linsey Smith has been the best bowler for NOS-W with eight wickets 13.75. Considering the conditions at Old Trafford, it is advisable to keep the left arm spinner as one of the captaincy picks for this match.
Amanda Wellington: The Aussie spinner has been very poor this season by her standard. However, considering the conditions at Old Trafford, there is a good chance of her doing well and be the biggest difference maker to your points tally.
Jemimah Rodrigues: Rodrigues showed some form with the bat in the last game and will be playing a crucial role at the top for NOS-W in this game at Old Trafford. She has been selected by only 25% of the teams as of writing this, making her one of the best differential picks on offer.
Kathryn Bryce: Bryce will be a risky pick going forward to this game as she has earned only 58 points in total in four games she has played so far. Therefore, it will be safer to avoid picking her in any of your XI for this game.
