The Hundred Men’s 2025: Predicting Welsh Fire XI for match 6

Welsh Fire and London Spirit will clash in the sixth match of the ongoing The Hundred competition at the Sophia Gardens, Cardiff on August 9, 2025.

Welsh Fire began their The Hundred 2025 decently, however, they will want to improve on their sixth-position finish in the previous edition. The team, headed by Tom Abell, has top players such as Riley Meredith, Jonny Bairstow, and Steven Smith and will provide firepower for the forthcoming campaign.

Here is the predicted Welsh Fire XI for match 6 of The Hundred Men’s 2025:

Top Order: Steve Smith, Jonny Bairstow (WK), Luke Wells

Steve Smith and Jonny Bairstow will most likely open the batting for Fire. Bairstow has 338 runs in The Hundred, but his 5647 T20 runs, at a strike rate of 138.71, show how dangerous he could be. This is Steve Smith’s first appearance in the tournament, but his 5806 runs in T20s show that he can adapt to different formats. Luke Wells, an experienced campaigner, has scored 216 runs in the Hundred, and his T20 strike rate of 146.63 demonstrates his brilliance.

Middle Order: Tom Abell (C), Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Paul Walter

Tom Abell, Welsh Fire captain, has 202 runs in 17 games in the Hundred so far. But his T20 record of 3517 runs and strike rate of 132.61 demonstrate his potential. Tom Kohler-Cadmore will keep wickets for Welsh Fire. Having scored 528 runs at a strike rate of 122.07 in 33 games, he remains a dangerous contender. Paul Walter has 259 runs and 24 wickets in the Hundred and will steady the team with his presence.

Lower Order: Saif Zaib, Chris Green

Said Zaib is a utility cricketer, perfect for a format like The Hundred. He has played seven games in the competition previously but has 1548 T20 runs at a strike rate of 144.810. A talented off-spinner, Chris Green has 224 T20 wickets, and his experience brings a lot to the Welsh Fire team, especially with his variations with the ball.

Bowlers: David Payne, Josh Hull, Riley Meredith

Experienced Riley Meredith is playing his first The Hundred season, but his 176 T20 wickets shows his potential in the format. David Payne has 24 wickets in The Hundred with an economy rate of 9.23. The 6 ft 7 in Josh Hull brings freshness to the Fire team with his youth.
