Welsh Fire (WEF-W) will be hosting Southern Brave (SOB-W) in the 14th match of The Hundred Women 2022 tournament at Sophia Garden in Cardiff on Monday. Welsh Fire lost against Manchester Originals in the last match and are now placed in the last position in the league table with no points from the opening two matches. The Originals put a big target of 157-run while batting first with Alex Hartley and Annabel Sutherland taking a wicket each. Skipper Tammy Beaumont smashed unbeaten 45 runs off 42 balls and Haley Matthews scored 69 runs off just 41 balls but they fall just 11 runs off the target.
Southern Brave beat Manchester Originals by nine runs in the last match to register their third win of this season. They scored 136 runs while batting first with star Indian batter Smriti Mandhana scoring the highest 43 runs off just 25 balls. Then Amanda-Jade Wellington took three wickets and Lauren Bell grabbed two to guide the Brave to a crucial win. Brave are now placed in the second position in the league table with six points from the opening three matches. Last season, they won both the fixtures against Welsh Fire and are favorites to win on Monday.

Venue: Sophia Gardens, Cardiff
Date & Time: 22nd August at 07:30 PM IST and 3:00 PM Local Time

Probable Playing XI:
Welsh Fire Women:
Tammy Beaumont (c), Haley Matthews, Rachael Haynes, Annabel Sutherland, Fran Wilson, Sarah Bryce (wk), Fi Morris, Katie George, Lauren Filer, Alex Hartley, Claire Nicholas.

Danielle Wyatt, Smriti Mandhana, Sophia Dunkley, Tahlia McGrath, Maia Bouchier, Freya Kemp, Carla Rudd (wk), Georgia Adams, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Anya Shrubsole (c), Lauren Bell.
Top Fantasy Picks:
Tammy Beaumont:
The veteran English opening batter is proving her worth after getting ignored for the 2022 CWG. She scored 39 runs in the opening match against Birmingham Phoenix and smashed 45 runs against Manchester Originals in the last match.
Haley Matthews:
The in-form Caribbean all-rounder scored the highest 69 runs off just 41 balls against Manchester Originals in the last match but couldn’t guide her team to a win. She also scored a crucial knock of 20 runs off 15 balls in the first match and will be a key player for Welsh Fire in this match.
Smriti Mandhana:
The highest-ranked Indian batter smashed 43 runs off just 25 balls against Manchester Originals in the last match after her 46 runs off 25 balls knocks against Oval Invincibles in the second match and will be the perfect captaincy choice on Monday
Tahlia McGrath:
McGrath ranks 5th in the ICC T20I Batters’ chart and was the best player for Australia in their Gold medal triumph in the 2022 CWG. But she has yet to make a similar impact in the first two matches in The Hundred 2022 so far.
Top Captain and Vice-Captain Choice for your small league:
Captain – Tammy Beaumont (c), Haley Matthews
Vice-Captain – Smriti Mandhana, Tahlia McGrath
