WEF vs SOB Match Preview
Welsh Fire and Southern Brave face off in a crucial 21st match of The Hundred Men’s 2025 at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff. Welsh Fire come into the contest under pressure with just a single win from their first four matches, making this a must-win encounter to keep their campaign alive. Southern Brave, though better placed with two wins from five games, have also lost momentum after a string of recent defeats.
Historically, the Brave have dominated this rivalry, winning six of their eight meetings against the Fire. The Cardiff surface is expected to be batting-friendly, and teams winning the toss are likely to opt for bowling first to take advantage of evening conditions. Southern Brave are tipped as favourites, but both sides will be desperate to find form and revive their tournament hopes.
