Central Sparks all-rounder on BBC radio
It should be an interesting game. We've got a lot to see from Deandra Dottin, she didn't get a score last game, and neither did Emma Lamb.
There is a lot of firepower that we haven't seen just yet from the Originals.
England hopefuls in key battle
Speaking of Kate Cross and Tammy Beaumont, the pair are our key match-up today with both meeting each other with a point to prove.
Originals' Cross was an unused seamer in England's last T20 international series, while Fire captain Beaumont was left out of England's Commonwealth Games squad.
Will either stake a selection claim today?

Manchester Originals captain Kate Cross: "We'd have had a bowl too. We just need to park that last game, we didn't bat well but we bowled outstandingly. We want to be positive.
"Lizelle [Lee] started well the other day but we just want her to bat a bit longer, at least 20 balls, and the same with Deandra Dottin. We just lacked that one partnership."
Post update
Welsh Fire captain Tammy Beaumont: "There might be a little bit of rain about but it is a good wicket that won't change so we back ourselves to chase it. We spoke about being a little bit more clinical, chasing 160 was a big ask but we were in it for 80 balls.
"It is a used wicket but it looks good and pretty hard so it should be true and plenty of runs on offer."

Unless we have an unexpected tie this afternoon, one of the teams on show will break their duck.
Both suffered home defeats in their opening games.
Manchester Originals were skittled for just 76 - Lizelle Lee top-scoring with 17 - as they were comprehensively beaten by 43 runs by Trent Rockets.
Welsh Fire, meanwhile, were undone by Ellyse Perry's half-century for Birmingham Phoenix as they lost a high-scoring thriller by 19 runs, falling just short on 142-5 in reply to the visitors' 161-5.
