The Hundred Men's 2023, Match 28, Welsh Fire vs London Spirit: Probable XIs, Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, Live Streaming Details
Welsh Fire will be squaring off against the London Spirit in the 28th match of the Men’s Hundred 2023 Competition. Sophia Gardens in Cardiff will play host to this clash on Sunday, August 20.
Welsh Fire are struggling in this year’s competition. They have played six games so far and have only managed to win twice. They faced the Trent Rockets in their previous fixture and suffered a loss.
After electing to bowl first, the Fire bowlers did a very good job of restricting the Rockets to 152/6. Joe Clarke smashed a fifty while chasing but lacked support from the other end as they fell short of the target by four runs.
London Spirit, on the other hand, have won two games and lost as many, and have six points under their belt. They most recently beat the Northern Superchargers in front of their home crowd to get back on track.
Contributions from Adam Rossington (53), Matthew Wade (42), and Daryl Mitchell (34) helped Spirit post 160 on the board. Ravi Bopara starred with the ball as he registered figures of 4/21 to help his side defend the total successfully against the Superchargers.
