The Hundred Men's 2025: Match 32, SOB vs WEF Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between SOB vs WEF?

Southern Brave (SOU) take on Welsh Fire (WEF) in an inconsequential fixture in The Hundred Men's 2025 on Thursday, August 28, at The Rose Bowl in Southampton.

James Vince's Southern Brave have been eliminated after managing three wins and four defeats from seven matches. They have only one win from their last five matches. This disastrous run has squashed their hopes of reaching the knockouts.

On the other hand, Welsh Fire are languishing at the foot of the table, with just two wins and five defeats from seven games. However, a win for Tom Abell and Co. on Thursday could help them avoid a finish at the bottom of the table.
