Welsh Fire vs London Spirit Prediction & Betting Tips, The Hundred 2021
The bottom two in the Men’s Hundred meet in Cardiff on Wednesday evening as Welsh Fire and London Spirit play the final group stage fixture. London Spirit are currently at the foot of the table after winning only one game and picking up a point from an abandonment. Welsh Fire won their opening two matches but have lost their last five games. This contest gets underway at 18:30 local time.
Welsh Fire have been unable to produce strong enough performances since Jonny Bairstow joined up with the England Test squad. A win will keep them off the bottom of the final standings.
London Spirit have been far more competitive in recent games. They defeated Manchester Originals and were unfortunate to lose by 2 wickets against Oval Invincibles. They could well end with a win.

Welsh Fire Team News & Playing 11
WEF Team News
Since captain Jonny Bairstow was recalled to the England Test side, Welsh Fire have been unable to register a victory in the hundred. Apart from replacement skipper Ben Duckett, the batting order has failed on too many occasions and failed to back up the bowling attack.
WEF Key Players
- Tom Banton - The young keeper-batsman has struggled for runs in the competition but made his highest score in the last game. A quick-fire half-century would put his team in a very strong position.
- Ben Duckett - No player has scored more runs in the Men’s Hundred than Duckett, a commendable achievement considering how poor the team has performed.
- Qais Ahmad - The spinner took 4 wickets in Welsh Fire’s opening game of the tournament and has the most dismissals for the team in the tournament.
It all looked so good for Welsh Fire on July 27 when they won their second successive game to begin the tournament. Since then it has been defeats all the way.

London Spirit Team News & Playing 11
LOS Team News
The majority of the franchises have suffered with England call-ups but London Spirit can count themselves unlucky after young baters Zak Crawley and Dan Lawrence were taken away from them. Brad Wheal has been a positive addition to the XI in the last two games and will lead the attack again.
LOS Key Players
- Eoin Morgan - The England captain has not had success with the bat that we all expected in this tournament. However, he hit his highest score in the last game.
- Brad Wheal - The right arm fast-medium bowler has been a breath of fresh air since getting called up for the games against Oval Invincibles and Manchester Originals, taking 6 wickets in the process.
- Mason Crane - The young leg-spinner has also not been as effective as many hoped in the competition. However, he has 5 wickets from 5 games.
The Lord’s based side have struggled throughout the competition but have perked up in recent games. That said, they have lost four of their last five games.
London Spirit Predicted Playing 11

The battle for the wooden spoon ends the Men’s Hundred group stage. Both teams expected to have far stronger tournaments but have been stung by England Test call ups. We are predicting a final show of some Ben Duckett runs but another defeat for Welsh Fire.
