WEF vs LNS: Team Previews

Welsh Fire

Welsh Fire will resume their week-long break from The Hundred with a home game against London Spirit. Unfortunately, Fire sustained defeats in each of their two previous outings to slump to number seven on the points table. With mere two wins from their six completed fixtures, Tom Abell and co. need to win their remaining couple of games in a bid to catapult themselves on the table during the business end of the league stage.

London Spirit

London Spirit’s uneven campaign this season has been marred by close wins, last-over finishes, and washouts. Amidst all the drama, they still find themselves among the top four sides of the competition and will be vying for a top three finish before the end of the league stage. They defeated Northern Superchargers by 13 runs in their most-recent outing to successfully shrug off their two-run loss to Oval Invincibles earlier in the week.

In the last 10 matches alone, fast bowlers have claimed 63 percent of the fallen wickets at the venue as opposed to 37 percent by spinners.
