Southern Brave vs Welsh Fire Prediction & Betting Tips, The Hundred 2021
4th placed Southern Brave host 7th placed Welsh Fire at The Ageas Bowl on Wednesday evening in the Men’s Hundred. The home side are unbeaten in their last four games after being defeated by Trent Rockets and Welsh Fire in their opening games. Welsh Fire won their opening two games but have since lost their next four. This match gets underway at 18:30 local time.
Southern Brave are a strong force in the competition and the opening partnership of Quinton de Kock and Paul Stirling is looking stronger by the game.
Welsh Fire continue to struggle without captain Jonny Bairstow. They will need to throw the form book out of the window to win this match.

Southern Brave Team News & Playing 11
SB Team News
The Southampton based side have been unfortunate to miss out on star bowler Jofra Archer who was ruled out of the rest of the tournament and cricket for the remainder of 2021. Ireland’s Paul Stirling has been a great addition to the side and we expect him to retain his place at the top of the order.
SB Key Players
- Quinton de Kock- South Africa’s keeper-batsman missed the opening games of the tournament while on international duty in Ireland. His innings in the last match showed he is enjoying the competition
- James Vince- he has enjoyed a strong season for Hampshire, England and Southern Brave. He will be hoping that he can get an England recall at the end of The Men’s Hundred.
- Chris Jordan- the most experienced man in a well balanced Southern Brave bowling attack. He took 1-19 including the key wicket of Chris Lynn against Northern Superchargers last time out.
After a sticky start to the tournament, Southern Brave are now the form team without a defeat from their last four matches.
Southern Brave Predicted Playing 11
Paul Stirling, Quinton de Kock (wk), James Vince (c), Alex Davies, Colin de Grandhomme, Ross Whiteley, George Garton, Chris Jordan, Danny Briggs, Tymal Mills, Jake Lintott
Welsh Fire Team News & Playing 11
WEF Team News
Under Ben Duckett’s captaincy, Welsh Fire have lost four games in a row in the Hundred. It is tough to pin the blame on the captain as the side are so much weaker without Jonny Bairstow and key pace bowler Jake Ball. Duckett needs the rest of the batting line-up to fire to give them the best chance in this match.
WEF Key Players
- Ben Duckett- the captain sits at the top of the run scorers list in the Men’s Hundred. Irrespective of what else is happening in the batting, Duckett continues to deliver a score.
- Glenn Phillips- the New Zealand big hitting batsman has just been confirmed in the World T20 squad for his country. His team needs some more sixes from Phillips in this match.
- David Payne- the Gloucestershire bowler provides much needed variety with a left-arm angle of attack. He took 3 wickets in the defeat to Birmingham Phoenix on Monday evening.
The Cardiff based team look a shadow of the side from earlier in the campaign. They have struggled with injuries and the loss of Jonny Bairstow to England has been the toughest for them to replace.
Welsh Fire Predicted Playing 11
Tom Banton (wk), Ian Cockbain, Ben Duckett (c), Glenn Phillips, Leus du Plooy, Jimmy Neesham, Graeme White, Luke Fletcher, Qais Ahmad, Matthew Milnes, David Payne
