London Spirit v Welsh Fire

Isa Guha introduces live coverage as London Spirit take on the Welsh Fire at Lord’s in the second season of this pulsating and action-packed cricket competition.

An inconsistent Spirit side narrowly missed out on the Eliminator in 2021, and this could prove a pivotal match as Heather Knight and her charges seek to reach the knockout stages for the first time.

The Fire struggled to make an impact last season but have since added genuine quality to their ranks – including Australian allrounder Annabel Sutherland and English trio Alex Hartley, Fran Wilson and Tammy Beaumont, with the latter desperate to impress against her former side.
