Welsh Fire vs Southern Brave Prediction: Southern Brave have been better in head-to-head games

Welsh Fire and Southern Brave are going to face each other in the 17th match of The Hundred Men at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom on 5th August 2024. Southern Brave have been better in head-to-head games. Who will win this game of cricket?

Welsh Fire registered a hard-fought win at Nottingham on Saturday while defending their total of 125/8 with great help from their skilled bowlers. Their bowling unit, founded on experience available in the ranks, earned their team the win. Added to that, though it was a low score, batters also chipped in with runs like Jonny Bairstow, who scored 55 runs off 45 balls, and captain Tom Abell, who added 33 runs. The team's bowling attack looks well-rounded, with David Payne and Haris Rauf outstanding for taking two wickets each in front of their home crowd.

They'll travel confidently to the northwest at the top of the table and led by their captain in stellar form following the 32-run win over Birmingham Phoenix. Captain James Vince, off the back of his mighty 90 not out from 47 balls in Birmingham, will look to carry the strong performance into Cardiff, where he struck six fours and six sixes. As experts have expressed so much admiration for the Southern Brave bowling attack, it was brilliant once more at Edgbaston with both Akeal Hosein and Chris Jordan collecting three wickets each against Phoenix. Though conditions may change in Cardiff, they will look to bring that momentum into the next game.

This is going to be an exciting game this season of Men's Hundred between two strong teams, both having an express desire to succeed. We do feel that this will be a very strongly contested game, but at the end, the strong batting and bowling capabilities of Southern Brave will see them through. Our prediction for this match is that Southern Brave will come out victorious!
