Cricket Free Tips | The Hundred Men’s 2021, Match 32: Welsh Fire vs London Spirit

The bottom two teams in the Men’s Hundred will meet in Cardiff on Wednesday evening for the last group stage match between Welsh Fire and London Spirit. The London Spirit is currently in the table’s last place, having won only one game and earning a point due to abandonment. Welsh Fire have lost their previous five games after winning their first two.

Since Jonny Bairstow joined the England Test squad, Welsh Fire has struggled to produce strong enough performances. A win will protect them from finishing last in the standings.

In recent games, the London Spirit have been significantly more competitive. They beat Manchester Originals and lost to Oval Invincibles by two wickets. 

Weather
The weather will be gloomy, but there is currently no risk of rain. During the match, temperatures will range between 17~19°C.

Pitch
The average score on this wicket is 151, indicating that a high-scoring game is likely. In Cardiff, two of the three games have gone in favour of the team batting second. As a result, chasing should be the way to go.
