WFW vs SBW Team Previews
Welsh Fire Women
With 3 wins in 4 matches, Welsh Fire has played some excellent cricket over the past week. At exactly halfway through the group stage, they sit at the top of the points table. However, with teams like London, Manchester, and Oval Invincibles close behind, Welsh Fire will look to create some distance between themselves and the rest of the block.
Sophia Dunkley and Tammy Beaumont will open the batting for the hosts in this match. Dunkley is in fine form, scoring 125 runs at an average of 41.66. However, Beaumont isn’t in the best of forms and is yet to get going.
Welsh Fire boasts of a strong middle order thanks to the presence of all-rounders like Hayley Matthews and Jess Jonassen.
Wicket-keeper batter Sarah Bryce found some form in the latest fixture as she scored a half-century to guide her team to a victory. Jess Jonassen and Georgia Davis make up for a strong spin attack and have picked up 13 wickets between them.
Freya Davies and Beth Langston are likely to open the proceedings with the new ball.

Tammy Beaumont, Sophia Dunkley, Hayley Matthews, Sarah Bryce, Jess Jonassen, Georgia Elwiss, Phoebe Franklin, Ella McCaughan, Beth Langston, Freya Davies, Georgia Davis.
Southern Brave Women
Southern Brave is the defending champion for this season but appears to be a shadow of its former self so far. They have played 4 matches so far and are the only team that has yet to win a match. As a result, they are languishing at the bottom of the points table.
Barring Danielle Wyatt, the batting from Southern Brave has been pretty ordinary, to say the least. Wyatt is 2nd on the list of top run-scorers for the season with 165 runs. However, she has received limited support at the other end. While there are quality batters in the line-up including Maia Bouchier, Rhianna Southby, Chloe Tryon, and Georgia Adams, Southern Brave has been unable to post match-winning scorers.
Nevertheless, with Smriti Mandhana joining the squad, they will be hoping to turn things around soon. Coming to the bowling, Southern Brave has a well-balanced bowling attack but they too have been rather inconsistent.
Lauren Bell is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 5 wickets, while the spinners, Georgia Adams and Tilly Corteen-Coleman have picked up 7 between them.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at Cardiff tends to help the bowlers early on in the match. The seamers will get plenty of movement with the new ball and the batters will have to be careful with their shot selection. There is an even covering of grass that allows the ball to skid through. A score of around 135 is a par score on this ground.
While things do improve for the team batting second” we will see some turn as the match progresses.
The weather is likely to remain overcast with temperatures of around 23 degrees.
WFW vs SBW Betting Tips
Looking at the way both teams have performed so far in this competition, the Welsh Fire are the favorites to win this match. They have been clinical in their performance in all departments and most of their players are in good form. On the other hand, Southern Brave has struggled and we expect their woes to continue.
Bet on Welsh Fire Women to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Danielle Wyatt is the leading run-scorer for Southern Brave this season and is averaging 41.25. She has been the top batter for her team in 3 of the 4 matches played so far. As the batting around her has been pretty mediocre, we are backing her to be the best batter yet again.
Georgia Davis is the leading wicket-taker for Welsh Fire this season with 7 wickets. She has picked up at least 2 wickets in 2 of her last 4 outings. As the pitch in Cardiff does help the spinner, there is a good chance that Davis will bowl another good spell.
