The Oval Invincibles take on Birmingham Phoenix (Invincibles 8/11, Phoenix 21/20 - Match Winner) in a clash beaten third and fifth in the men's Hundred as the former look to keep the pressure up on the op two.
Both teams have won three of their five matches in the 100-ball franchise series this year in what has been a mixed bag for the pair.
The Invincibles (4/1 The Hundred outright) are looking for a win to try and keep up with Trent Rockets and London Spirit who have been comfortably the best teams so far in the tournament.
Last time out, they were beaten by 25 runs with the Trent Bridge-based outfit setting an ultimately unattainable target of 181.
Jordan Cox hit an unbeaten 61 but captain Sam Billings was dismissed for a duck while Jason Roy and Sam Curran posted only 20 and 27 respectively.

Will Jacks was also brought back down to earth following his stunning century exploits with a score of just 11.
Phoenix (7/2 The Hundred outright), who reached last year's final before suffering defeat at the hands of Southern Brave, were surprisingly beaten by Northern Superchargers in their last match.
Star men Liam Livingstone and Moeen Ali both failed to impress with the bat, gaining hauls and five and one respectively and they will be expecting big improvements.
In last year's meeting, it was Phoenix who won by five wickets on their way to top spot in the regular league standings.
Earlier on Tuesday, the corresponding women's fixture takes place with Phoenix (Phoenix 4/6, Invincibles 11/10 - Match Winner) seeking to keep up their perfect start to the season.
Phoenix have won three from three and face an Invincibles team whose only defeat so far was inflicted upon them by Southern Brave, though they do at least have the experience of being last year's inaugural champions.
