The third match of The Hundred Women's 2025 will feature Northern Superchargers Women taking on Welsh Fire Women at Headingley, Leeds. Northern Superchargers narrowly missed the Eliminator last season after a heartbreaking loss to London Spirit in their final league game, finishing just one point short. All-rounder Annabel Sutherland was the standout performer with both bat and ball, scoring 212 runs at a strike rate of 137.6 and picking up 10 wickets at an economy of 4.53. Linsey Smith led the bowling charts with 15 wickets, earning a deserved England recall.

On the other side, Welsh Fire had a major turnaround in 2024, finishing as runners-up after a tough first three seasons. They were led in their success by Hayley Matthews and Jess Jonassen, who stood tall with bat and ball. Matthews scored 198 runs and took 11 wickets, while Jonassen contributed 176 runs and topped all bowlers with 12 wickets. This clash between Superchargers and Fire promises to be a thriller early in the season.
