While it will be a tough match, Knight is confident his young charges will be competitive.
The core of the side were involved in last year's inaugural campaign where they just beaten by the Coffs Coast Chargers.
"It's pretty much our under-19s Central North academy squad with a couple of other ladies that play in the Tamworth competition who have joined the team for a bit of exposure to higher level cricket and to help out," Knight said.

Boasting the likes of Jess Davidson, Lara Graham, Deni Baker, Tara Craig, Zoe Fleming, Claire McGuirk and Taylah Knight, who are are considered amongst the best young talents in the state, he said belief will be one of the big things for them.
"We've got a very talented squad, they've just go to believe," he said.
Knight also spoke about making sure they bowl good line and length, and back their bowlers up in the field, and with the bat "bat in partnerships".
Last year after a good opening partnership they just lost their way a bit in the middle.
The winner on Sunday will progress to play the winner of another regional zone.
The Bolters will be hoping the weather obliges. If the game is washed out they won't go through, the same with the men who will play before the women's game.
It is set to be a busy day for Knight also looking after the men's side.
Northern Inland Bolters women: Megan Abbott, Deni Baker, Tara Craig, Jess Davidson, Zoe Fleming, Elsie Ford, Lara Graham, Chloe Goodwin, Sally Keeler, Tayla Knight, Claire McGuirk, Josephine Pearce, Vanessa Simpson, Jaclyn Vickery.
