Rain wiped out both women's fixtures in the Hundred on Saturday without a ball being bowled, meaning four of the first seven women's games have been abandoned.

"It isn't the way we wanted to get the points but I'm really looking forward to seeing the girls go out there and show their skills, because they've been absolutely fantastic."

Parry said that Originals' preparation has been affected throughout the build-up to the Hundred: "We had a training session at Ramsbottom and that was rain-affected; the rain has been with us for two weeks. But the attitude and energy of the girls has been second to none and I'm really pleased how they've gone about their business."

Emma Whiteman, London Spirit's team manager, said: "We just want to play and it's hugely disappointing that this has happened again.

"We've always said we need to adapt to whatever conditions are presented, whether that is the opposition or the good old British weather, so we're training now and hopefully we'll get going together on Tuesday."
