Similar to their male counterparts, Welsh Fire Women finished bottom of the table in the Women’s Hundred in the 2022 competition. However, the side have recruited a good group of players for this year’s tournament and we expect them to be much more competitive.
Welsh Fire Women have some very strong batters in their squad with West Indies’ Hayley Matthews, Australia’s Laura Harris and England’s Tammy Beaumont leading the way. Beaumont will captain the side and has been in excellent form this summer.
With the ball, we expect Welsh Fire Women’s main threat to come from South Africa’s Shabnim Ismail who is one of the quickest bowlers in women’s cricket. Alex Hartley is a very accurate slow left-arm orthodox bowler who had played for England 32 times.
Welsh Fire Women won only one of their six matches across the 2022 Women’s Hundred.

Although Manchester Originals won only two matches across their campaign in 2022, they finished only two points from the playoff positions. With a strong squad ahead of this year’s tournament, many pundits are expecting a top three finish as a minimum.
Manchester Originals Women’s main run scorer is expected to be the South African opener Laura Wolvaardt who has impressed at international level across all formats in recent years. Scotland’s Kathryn Bryce alongside Emma Lamb are also rated highly.
Skipper Sophie Ecclestone is widely recognised as the best spinner in women’s cricket at the moment and she will form a dangerous spin duo with Amanda Jade Wellington who was the leading wicket taker in the tournament last year with 17 dismissals.
Manchester Originals Women won only one of their last four fixtures as part of an overall disappointing season.

The second game of the Women’s Hundred brings together some brilliant short format players and we are expecting an entertaining game. Judging by the players on show, we are predicting a close contest but are backing the spinners for Manchester Originals to come out on top. Our tip is for Manchester Originals to win this game.
