Old Tauntonians & Romsey look to press home their Southern Electric Premier League, Division 2 promotion claims when Sparsholt visit the Romsey Sports Centre, 1pm.
Four straight wins has swept OTs into third spot in the table, three points behind Paultons, who visit Fawley.
OTs also have an attractive Southern Electric t20 Cup tie against the Hampshire Academy on Sunday, 2pm.
Sparsholt lie second from bottom. They were narrowly beaten at Hursley Park last week, but boosted their confidence with a Village Cup county final victory the next day.
OTs & Romsey: Trodd, Peter Newman, King, Brown, Rob Newman, Edwards, Shapland, Flack, Mogg, Smith.
Sparsholt: Worth, Ruffell, Dunford, Haworth, Tognarelli, Jenner, Vokes, Foster, Dilley, Ballands, N Doubell.
Basement boys Hursley Park have action man Nick Wheeler in change in another important SPL2 affair at Hambledon.
Wheeler volunteered to take over the captaincy from Matt Mettam, who has reluctantly had to step down due to a change in his work situation.
His brilliant boundary catch was the catalyst of Hursley’s narrow win over Sparsholt last week.
Hambledon, who ran leaders Portsmouth close before conceding a one-wicket defeat last week, lie just above the Winchester village pair in the log.
They are preparing to unleash an as yet unnamed South African leg spin bowler into the mix against Hursley Park.
Second placed Paultons bid to bounce back from their seven-wicket OTs setback at the expense of hosts Fawley, who have lost their last three games.
Fawley have parted company with Australian import Paul Kruger, who has hardly played for the Waterside club since his arrival from Queensland.
Kruger, who has been troubled by a back injury, is believed to have gone to Norway.
Paultons: Richman, Wateridge, Feltham, Hall, Linge, O'Brien, Collins, Drake, Pike, Lamb, Denney.
Langley Manor host Tichborne Park, with all-rounder Simon Ridley missing the Bashley (Rydal) II visit to leaders Portsmouth due to school sports day.
Bashley are off the bottom after winning their last two matches.
Bashley (Rydal) II: Gates, Friedman, R Taylor, Vaughan, Maher, Neal, S Morris, Grierson, N Taylor, Bettle, Read.
Opening batsmen Simon Williams returns as Trojans face a mid-summer showdown at Waterlooville, which could be all important in the Southern Electric Premier League, Division 3 promotion tussle.
Trojans bounced back to the top when their successful 271-run chase against Lymington II coincided with Waterlooville losing their 100 per cent record to South Wilts II.
Now only seven points separate the top three, with South Wilts – at home to lowly Totton & Eling II – closing in.
Trojans could make a break at the top with a win at Rowlands Avenue, with Ville clearly rattled after back-to-back defeats at Calmore Sports in the Electric t20 Cup and against South Wilts.
Trojans: Boyd, Manjra, Babidge, Williams, Truscott, Le Bas, Mahmood, Stearn, Wright, Donaldson, Joshi, Rahim.
Gosport Borough, who were on the wrong end of a 292-run mauling from Basingstoke last week, host Lymington II at Privett Park.
Lymington II: Kelly, Edwards, Sutherland, Robinson, K Moors, Cooke, C Moors, Chakrabarti, Molloy, Drodge, Gregory
