In a regular season match of The Hundred cricket league, Southern Brave will face Welsh Fire on their home ground. The match is scheduled for Wednesday, August 14, and will begin at 16:30 CET. The Dailysports team has prepared a prediction for this game.
Southern Brave
Currently one of the top teams in The Hundred standings, Southern Brave has secured five wins and suffered two losses in seven matches. They currently have ten points and occupy the second spot in the table. Southern Brave edges out Birmingham Phoenix, who are in third place, based on additional metrics. It's important to remember that the top three teams in the standings advance to the playoffs.
This game will be the final one of the regular season, but Southern Brave cannot afford to relax as they hold only a one-point lead over the fourth-placed team. A win in this match is crucial if they want to secure their place in the playoffs. Southern Brave has made it to the playoffs twice in their history. In the 2021 season, they became The Hundred champions, but last season they were knocked out in the semifinals.
Welsh Fire
Welsh Fire has already lost all chances of making it to The Hundred playoffs. In seven games, they have won only twice, with one match ending without a result. As a result, they have five points from seven matches and no chance of reaching the playoffs, with only one game remaining in the regular season. Welsh Fire has never made it to the playoffs in their history, although they came very close last season.
In eight matches, they accumulated nine points but missed out on the third spot due to additional metrics. Notably, Welsh Fire is not an English team; they are a 100-ball cricket franchise based in Cardiff, Wales.
