Who have been the standout players?
Australia’s Phoebe Litchfield (L) and Annabel Sutherland (R) have impressed for Northern Superchargers
Superchargers’ Australian imports have flourished in 2025 with Annabel Sutherland amassing 173 runs and 11 wickets and Phoebe Litchfield peeling off 231 runs – a number only bettered by two women’s players this year. Litchfield clubbed 55 not out against Spirit during the league meeting.
Another Aussie in Nicola Carey has bagged five wickets in four games, plus scored a match-clinching 25 not out off 15 balls against Oval Invincibles, since being drafted in as an injury replacement for compatriot Georgia Wareham
Seam bowler Kate Cross was jettisoned by England ahead of the World Cup this autumn yet has been excellent for Superchargers with 11 scalps at an average below 15.
Northern Superchargers’ Kate Cross has taken 11 wickets in The Hundred so far this season
Davina Perrin, surely an England player of the future, sparkled with a 40-ball 72 against Trent Rockets before a run of quiet games, while left-arm pacer Grace Ballinger has snaffled eight wickets and left-arm spinner Linsey Smith is adept at bowling in every phase of the innings.
As for Spirit, big-hitting Australian Grace Harris and Kira Chathli – an injury replacement for Heather Knight after going undrafted – top the run-scoring charts with 214 apiece.
Grace Harris notched 89 runs off 42 balls in The Hundred opener between London Spirit and Oval Invicibles
Harris – who has plundered 11 sixes and holds the best strike-rate in the competition of 176.85 – has tailed off after a lightning start to the tournament but Chathli smoked 53 from 29 balls against Invincibles last time out.
With the ball, wickets have been shared around – seamer Eva Gray maxing out with nine, fellow quick Issy Wong claiming eight and off-spinner and captain Charlie Dean snaring six.

Who have been the standout players?
Ahmed dismissed Jacob Bethell for a duck when Rockets played Birmingham Phoenix on Wednesday and has 10 wickets in total in The Hundred
All-rounder and Ashes hopeful Rehan Ahmed has certainly caught the eye for Rockets, picking up 10 wickets with his leg-spin and doing so at an excellent economy rate of 6.76 – a number only bettered by Jofra Archer among bowlers to have delivered 100 balls or more.
Ahmed, 21, has also plundered 189 runs with the bat in swashbuckling style.
Openers Joe Root and Tom Banton have notched 228 runs apiece with the former completing back-to-back half-centuries against Invincibles and Fire and then 25 against Phoenix after a slow start.
Joe Root struck 76 from 41 balls against Oval Invincibles as he registered his highest Hundred score
Skipper David Willey – formerly of Superchargers – and Lockie Ferguson have, like Ahmed, notched three-wicket hauls.
Superchargers have a power-packed batting unit, one that may enjoy conditions at The Oval more than when they faced Rockets at Trent Bridge and were limited to 124-9 on a tricky surface.
England’s Harry Brook and Zak Crawley have racked up over 200 runs, with former international colleague Dawid Malan scoring 182, while seamer Matthew Potts (9) leads the wicket-taking charts.
Northern Superchargers’ Harry Brook smashed 56 off 27 balls against Oval Invincibles in The Hundred
Leg-spin maestro Adil Rashid has contributed seven and it will be fascinating to see him and Rehan in action in the same game.
Watch the 2025 Hundred eliminators live on Sky Sports from 1.45pm on Saturday. Northern Superchargers face London Spirit in the women’s match (2.15pm) before Superchargers take on Trent Rockets in the men’s (6pm). Stream cricket and more with NOW.

Cowboys contract priority rankings: After All-Pro CB DaRon Bland, who should be up next to get paid?
The 2025 NFL season is mere days away, and for the Dallas Cowboys, their deadline to do deals before the upcoming 2025 season is about to arrive.In 2023, the Cowboys re-signed All-Pro wide receiver CeeDee Lamb shortly after the team returned home to Texas from Oxnard, California, and they re-signed three-time Pro Bowl quarterback Dak Prescott hours before kickoff in Week 1 at the Cleveland Browns.
