When Welsh Fire faced the Birmingham Phoenix at home in the twelfth game of The Hundred in 2022, they would be under pressure. They need to mount a fierce comeback after losing to the Oval Invincibles by a significant margin in the previous game. After defeating the champions of the previous year, the Southern Brave, Birmingham Phoenix appears to be in excellent shape and is likely to be confident. Welsh Fire has struggled in both contests.
Match Preview
Cardiff’s Sophia Gardens Pitch Report opposed to spinners, it appears that batters will find this surface to be considerably more accommodating. The batters have historically had less difficulty on this surface. As of now, we anticipate a total Score between 160 and 170. The conditions here have allowed batters to score high totals. As in the previous game played here, the wicket grows slower as the game goes on. The two captains would be considering this, and the team that wins the toss is probably not going to second-guess their decision to bat first.
Team Preview
Welsh Fire has suffered significant deficits in both of their games and will need to mount an impressive recovery. Their batting lineup has looked out of sorts, so Tom Banton and Joe Clarke must succeed in their starts. As they take on a potent bowling team, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, and Joshua Cobb will each have significant roles to play in the middle order. Since their top order hasn’t appeared to be in the ideal shape, Adam Zampa and Ryan Higgins must perform at the plate. The Phoenix have a potent lineup at the plate, so David Payne and Jake Ball must get on base quickly.
The team led by Moeen Ali recently achieved a significant victory. They could move up the points table with a victory in this game. Will Smeed, who scored an outstanding century in the previous match, will try to join Chris Benjamin in a productive first wicket partnership. In the previous game, Tom Helm and Kane Richardson took early wickets, and the duo will try to succeed in this one. After his 5-wicket performance in the previous game, Henry Brooks should be confident and need to produce a similar effort here. The team would have high expectations from the senior bowlers Imran Tahir, Benny Howell, and Ali in this situation.
