In their head-to-head matchup during the previous season, both teams each won one game.

At The Ageas Bowl in Southampton on Wednesday evening, Southern Brave and Welsh Fire play in the opening match of the 2022 Men’s Hundred. Last year, the hosts won the first competition after defeating Birmingham Phoenix at Lord’s by 32 runs. Welsh Fire only won three games last season and placed last in their group. Starting time for the match is 19:00 local time.

Although Southern Brave got off to a shaky start in the 2021 tournament, they soon recovered their footing and won the event. They have a team full of short-format players and have made a significant recruiting effort ahead of this season.

Last year’s campaign was off to a strong start for Welsh Fire, but they lost steam in the middle of the game. However, this team has Jonny Bairstow in the best shape of his life, so anything is possible.
