Northern Superchargers face Welsh Fire in the Eliminator in the women's Hundred 2023.
The game is due to start at 2.30pm BST on Saturday, August 26.
The Eliminator will take place at the Kia Oval.
Northern Superchargers finished second in the table, winning six of their eight matches, including five of their past six. The only sides to get the better of them were Southern Brave and Manchester Originals but both defeats did come away from home.
Welsh Fire were one point behind the Superchargers in third place, winning five of their eight matches and having their meeting with Manchester Originals abandoned due to bad weather.
When the two sides met in the final round of group matches, Northern Superchargers completed a 16-run win. Marie Kelly and Phoebe Litchfield impressed with the bat for the Superchargers, both striking above 150, while Lucy Higham and Kate Cross returned combined figures of 3 for 24 from 33 balls.
Litchfield is the key wicket for Welsh Fire. The Australian, in her debut campaign, currently sits top of the overall run-scoring charts, with 266 runs at a strike rate of 133.66, including 36 fours and three sixes. She's failed to pass 30 in an innings just twice this season and while Superchargers have enviable batting depth, seeing her off early would be a huge boost for Fire.
How do they get her out? Well, she's fallen to spin four times in seven matches and has been caught four times, caught and bowled twice (both by spinners), and bowled once... so no major trend, unfortunately.
