Ben Duckett is Welsh Fire’s highest run scorer in the tournament and he is our tip for their top run scorer in this game. Jake Ball took 4-29 against Manchester Originals and was unfortunate to be on the losing side. He is our pick for Welsh Fire’s top wicket taker against Southern Brave.
Captain James Vince has a top score of 71 not out in the competition and we are backing him to be Southern Brave’s highest run scorer on Monday evening. With the ball, Michael Hogan has four wickets across the campaign and he is a strong choice for Southern Brave’s top wicket taker against Welsh Fire.
Both teams have impressive opening batters but we recommend Southern Brave to have the highest opening partnership.

WEF vs SOB Match Prediction & Betting Tips, The Hundred 2022
Welsh Fire host Southern Brave in Match 22 of the 2022 Men’s Hundred on Monday evening at Sofia Gardens, Cardiff. Welsh Fire are bottom of the table after losing all four of their matches this season. Southern Brave, last season’s winners, have won only one of their five games. Read on as we preview this fixture. The game gets underway at 19:00 local time in Cardiff.
Welsh Fire have been beaten by Manchester Originals, Birmingham Phoenix, Oval Invincibles and Southern Brave already this season. It would be a big shock if they got revenge on Southern Brave in this match.
Southern Brave have only managed to pick up a win against Welsh Fire this season so they will be delighted to be facing them again. They have struggled with injuries to key bowlers and lack of form from top order batters.

TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Cricket and BBC.
Although there can be a temptation to throw caution to the wind when at the bottom of the table, we expect both skippers to choose to bowl first in this match.
WEF vs SOB Pitch Report
This pitch has showed signs of speeding up as the tournament has progressed but still tends to offer more for the spinners than the pace bowlers.
Weather Report
It will be very humid by the end of the game with the level reaching as high as 85-90%. We do not expect any rain to interrupt this match.

Welsh Fire Team News & Playing 11
WEF Team News
Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa has returned home ahead of their white ball tour of Zimbabwe and will be replaced by New Zealand’s Ish Sodhi in the Welsh Fire squad. However, Sodhi will not be available for this game and we expect all-rounder Ryan Higgins to come into the team instead.
WEF Key Players
Ben Duckett- the left-handed middle order batter has been the best of a bad bunch for Welsh Fire in The Hundred this season. He impressed for England Lions a fortnight ago but is yet to make a half-century in this campaign.
Dwaine Pretorius- the South African big hitting all-rounder was Welsh Fire’s highest run scorer against Manchester Originals in the last game. He hit 29 runs from 14 balls.
Jake Ball- the England international would have won far more than his 24 caps across Tests, ODIs and IT20s if if hadn’t been for a string of injuries. He is a fine white ball bowler at domestic level.
WEF Team Form
Welsh Fire won three games last season but are still searching for their first win of this campaign. A defeat in this match will mean five successive defeats.
Welsh Fire Predicted Playing 11
Joe Clarke (wk), Tom Banton, Sam Hain, Ben Duckett, David Miller, Josh Cobb (c), Matt Critchley, Dwaine Pretorius, Ryan Higgins, David Payne, Jake Ball
Australian batting all-rounder Marcus Stoinis has played his last game for Southern Brave this season after returning to Australia to prepare for international fixtures. Quinton de Kock has been in poor form for South Africa and Southern Brave over recent weeks but looked to be finding his touch against Manchester Originals.
SOB Key Players
James Vince- the Southern Brave skipper has struggled to replicate the 229 runs he hit last year but is still their main source of reliable runs.
George Garton- the bowling all-rounder has been on the fringes of the England side for a couple of years and some good performances in this tournament could see him make the T20 World Cup. He top scored in the last game.
Michael Hogan- the tall and experienced Australian pace bowler had an impressive Vitality Blast for Glamorgan this year and dismissed Jos Buttler against Manchester Originals.
SOB Team Form
After beginning the season with a nine wicket win over Welsh Fire, Southern Brave have lost all four of their next games in the Men’s Hundred.
Southern Brave Predicted Playing 11
Quinton de Kock (wk), James Vince (c), Alex Davies, Tim David, George Garton, Craig Overton, Ross Whiteley, Janes Fuller, Jake Lintott, Dan Moriarty, Michael Hogan

Welsh Fire vs Southern Brave Head to Head
Considering how their fortunes differed last season, it is quite a surprise for most fans to learn that Welsh Fire beat Southern Brave in their first meeting in the Men’s Hundred in late July last year. However, Southern Brave have beaten them in the two subsequent games.

Welsh Fire vs Southern Brave Betting Odds
The bookies have not fancied Welsh Fire in any of their games this season and in spite of Southern Brave losing their last four matches, Southern Brave are still the favourites.
Who will win Welsh Fire vs Southern Brave Match?
The young pretenders at Welsh Fire have failed to produce the goods with the bat this year with the experienced batters at Southern Brave not doing much better.
Ben Duckett, Joe Clarke and Tom Banton are our batting picks for Welsh Fire. Clarke had an excellent winter in the BBL but has not been able to produce big scores for Welsh Fire as yet in this tournament.
We recommend James Vince, Quinton de Kock and Tim David to be the top batters for Southern Brave. David is often used as a finisher but may well be pushed up the order with Marcus Stoinis no longer in the team.
Our bowling tips are Jake Ball, David Payne and Ryan Higgins for Welsh Fire. Payne got selected for England earlier this summer based on his white ball performances for Gloucestershire.
Michael Hogan, Jake Lintott and George Garton are our bowling choices for Southern Brave. Lintott has taken three wickets so far in the 2022 Men’s Hundred.
These two sides are propping up the table in the Men’s Hundred and both will be desperately hoping that a victory in this game can give them the boost required to go on a winning run. Southern Brave have struggled since losing Chris Jordan and Tymal Mills but we expect them to still be able to beat Welsh Fire in this game.
