Fantasy Teams Prediction
🏏 Match Details:
Match: Welsh Fire vs Manchester OriginalsTime: 13 Aug, 11:00 PM (IST) ⏰
Series: The Hundred Men's Competition 2025 🏆
Venue: Sophia Gardens, Cardiff 🏟️
📌 Match Info:
- After securing their first win of the season, the Manchester Originals are all set to lock horns against a team that is yet to open their winning account this season, i.e., the Welsh Fire, at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, Wales.
- Manchester Originals have opened their winning account by taming the London Spirit in the last game by 10 runs. The team evaded a whirlwind effort from David Warner, who almost chased down 163 put up by Manchester Originals with a 51-ball 71, an innings that included 12 fours and a six. A win in the last game must have boosted their confidence, which they will take into this game to make it two wins in a row and get into the top 5 for the time being.
- Meanwhile, Welsh Fire is yet to register a win in this competition. They have been struggling with their combination, and so far, it has been only a one-man show from Jonny Bairstow. The team is desperate for a win, as they are languishing right at the bottom of the points table and wouldn’t want to lose three in a row. Will they be able to prevail over the Manchester Originals? We’ll find out soon.

- Tom Kohler-Cadmore’s poor run with the bat could prompt the team management to rethink his spot in the XI.

- Saif Zaib’s limited bowling role might open the door for leg-spinner Mason Crane to come into the side for added variety.
