Welsh Fire vs Birmingham Phoenix Preview

  • In the most recent match, Birmingham Phoenix easily trounced Southern Brave, the reigning champs.
  • The batsmen for Welsh Fire are out of form, as the team has scored 107 and 119 in its two games.
  • Will Smeed, a batsman with the Birmingham Phoenix, would be confident after scoring a hundred in the most recent game.

 

Welsh Fire and Birmingham Phoenix will square off in game 12 of the 2022 Men’s Hundred on Saturday night at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. So far in this year’s competition, the hosts have played two games and lost two of them. Birmingham Phoenix’s first game ended in a loss to Trent Rockets, however, they recently defeated Southern Brave. At 18:00 local time, the game begins.

Welsh Fire’s leadership and experience continue to be a touch lacking. They have some promising young batters, but if they want to compete in this kind of game, they must mature soon.

Birmingham Phoenix’s victory over Southern Brave earlier this week served as a warning to the rest of the competition. Will Smeed announced his arrival to the cricketing community at the same moment. Phoenix will enter this encounter with a lot of confidence.

Prior to each game this season, every captain with the exception of Eoin Morgan made the decision to field first. In this match, we anticipate that both teams will want to bowl first.

Birmingham Phoenix is the favorite to win this match.

 

As Ben Duckett showed for England Lions, there is plenty of batting talent in the Welsh Fire squad and at some point, they will produce a very strong batting performance. However, we do not think they will be able to cope with the form of Birmingham Phoenix. We are predicting another defeat for Welsh Fire and a second win of the campaign for Birmingham Phoenix.
