The action will continue in The Hundred Women’s 2023 as Northern Superchargers (NOS-W) and Birmingham Phoenix (BP-W) take on each other in Match 4 at Headingley, Leeds on Thursday, August 03. In the previous edition of the tournament, Superchargers finished on the fifth spot on the points table with three wins from six matches. They will be once again led by Hollie Armitage this season as well who will be desperate for a change of fortunes this season.
On the other hand, Birmingham Phoenix finished on the fourth spot on the points table, just above Superhcargers, in the 2022 edition winning three matches out of six. They missed out on qualifying for the knockouts due to a bad net run rate. Phoenix will be having a change of captaincy this year as they will be led by Evelyn Jones. Having missed out on the knockouts in the previous edition both teams will be eager to start the tournament on a positive note by winning their first game.
