In this article we will be analyzing the WEF-W vs NOS-W Match Prediction. Welsh Fire women (WEL-W) and Northern Superchargers women (NOS-W) lock horns in match no. 21 of The Hundred Women’s 2024 at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff on Thursday, August 8.
Welsh Fire have had a phenomenal start to their campaign, having registered four wins from five matches so far. They are placed at the top of the points table and are coming into this clash on the back of a three-match winning streak. Interestingly, all four of Welsh’s wins have come while chasing. Their only loss so far in the tournament came while batting first.
Meanwhile, last year’s runners-up – Northern Superchargers – will head into the encounter as the second-placed team on the points table unless London Spirit register a comprehensive win against Trent Rockets on Wednesday. Holly Armitage and Co. started their campaign with a loss to Trent and followed it up with a tie against Southern Brave. However, they have managed to turn things around in the last three games and won all of them convincingly. Unlike Welsh, the Superchargers have won all their games while batting first and their only defeat came while chasing.
