WEF vs BPH Match Prediction - Who will win today's The Hundred Men Match?

Even though The Hundred is still in the starting phase, the Welsh Fire’s match against Birmingham Phoenix at Cardiff on Saturday already appears to be a must-win. Gary Kirsten’s team has suffered two losses in their first two games, and the runners-up from the previous year, Birmingham Phoenix, who have won a game and lost one so far, will be their next opponent.

As for Birmingham Phoenix, everyone will be watching Will Smeed to see if he could perhaps repeat the thrilling performance that earned him plenty of praises last time. All-rounders Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone, who have both had successful starts to their campaigns, will be his patrons.

Welsh Fire’s bowling attack is in despair and in need of a strong showing because they need to get the most out of their foreign players before they leave. Adam Zampa will want to leave his mark in the competition.
