Birmingham Phoenix Women are favorites to win
Welsh Fire Women and Birmingham Phoenix Women go head to head in Match 4 of the 2022 Women’s Hundred at Sophia Gardens on Saturday afternoon. Welsh Fire Women finished bottom of the table in the 2021 Women’s Hundred with Birmingham Phoenix Women reaching the Eliminator. Read on as we preview this game. The match gets underway at 14:30 local time.
Welsh Fire Women will be firmly looking forwards after a very poor 2021 competition. However, they are playing one of the best sides in the tournament and this will be a tough assignment.
Birmingham Phoenix Women were extremely good last year and have got a better team on paper for this campaign. We expect them to play an exciting brand of cricket and to be very hard to beat.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Cricket and BBC.
The Hundred Women 2022 Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on SkyGo, the BBC iPlayer and the FanCode App.
The conditions will not change much at all from the first innings to the second innings of the game and we expect both captains to want to chase a target.
Although the surface is usually a little two-paced and offers assistance to the bowlers, there is also a very short straight boundary at Sophia Gardens. We expect a par score to be over 150.
Partly cloudy but very warm conditions from start to finish in this game. The temperature will be between 30 and 32 degrees during this match in Cardiff.

With Tammy Beaumont leading the side, we expect standards and results to improve for Welsh Fire Women after a distinctly forgettable 2021 campaign. The management and fans will be impressed with their recruitment and if their key players can steer clear of injuries then they could surprise some teams.
Welsh Fire Women ended the 2021 tournament with four successive defeats. However, they have a new captain and can approach this competition with a fresh outlook.
Tammy Beaumont (c) (wk), Hayley Matthews, Rachael Haynes, Fran Wilson, Sarah Bryce, Nicola Hartley, Annabel Sutherland, Georgia Hennesy, Alex Hartley, Katie George, Nicola Carey
Any team with Sophie Devine and Ellyse Perry in it will be competitive irrespective of the format. Phoenix found a winning approach during the 2021 season and we expect that to be replicated this year with the additional world class players. There are no reported injuries in the camp ahead of this match.
Phoenix Women were beaten by eventual winners Oval Invincibles Women to end their strong run of results in the 2021 tournament.
Sophie Devine (c), Amy Jones (wk), Ellyse Perry, Evelyn Jones, Georgia Elwiss, Sterre Kalis, Ria Fackrell, Deepti Sharma, Issy Wong, Kirstie Gordon, Sophie Molineux
Birmingham Phoenix Women were far too strong for Welsh Fire Women when they met at Edgbaston last year. They won by 10 wickets with 24 balls remaining.

Birmingham Phoenix Women are narrow favourites with the bookies to return from South Wales with the win to start their 2022 campaign.
Although Welsh Fire Women had a poor tournament in 2021, one look through their squad and you see plenty of big names and talented players. They should give Birmingham Phoenix Women a very good game in this fixture.
Tammy Beaumont, Hayley Matthews and Rachael Haynes are our batting tips for Welsh Fire Women. 35 year old Haynes has experience batting throughout the innings and will be ideal for a fluid batting order.
We recommend Sophie Devine, Amy Jones and Ellyse Perry with the bat for Birmingham Phoenix Women. Jones batted at a strike rate of 155.75 in last year’s tournament.
We are backing Nicola Carey, Alex Hartley and Hayley Matthews as the top bowlers for Welsh Fire Women. Hartey took eight wickets for Manchester Originals Women last year.
Sophie Devine, Deepti Sharma and Issy Wong are our picks with the ball for Birmingham Phoenix Women. Wong played in the WBBL during the winter and is now a regular in the England Women’s side.
We are expecting an interesting match in Cardiff to kick off the competition for these two sides. Both teams have recruited well in the off-season and the standard of cricket should be an upgrade on the good quality we saw last year. We are predicting a win for Birmingham Phoenix Women.
Birmingham Phoenix Women are favourites to beat Welsh Fire Women at the odds of 1.72
