Manchester Originals Women will take on Welsh Fire Women in Match 3 of The Hundred Women’s 2024 at the Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester on July 25. Manchester had a disastrous outing last season as they finished in seventh position with just two wins in eight games. On the other, Welsh Fire showed a good performance last season winning five games out of eight last season and occupying third spot.
Welsh Fire played the Eliminator against Northern Superchargers but the game was called off due to rain and Superchargers were through to the finals owing to their superior ranking in the points table. Welsh Fire have better stats in their last five games, winning two and losing as many with one going resultless. Manchester will be aiming to turn the tables this time around as they have won just one out of the last five games.
