On Monday night at Sofia Gardens in Cardiff, Match 22 of the 2022 Men’s Hundred will pit Welsh Fire against Southern Brave.

Cardiff local time is 19:00 when the game begins.
Welsh Fire has already lost this season against the Manchester Originals, Birmingham Phoenix, Oval Invincibles, and Southern Brave. If they were to get revenge on Southern Brave in this match, it would be a huge shock.
Welsh Fire has only been defeated by Southern Brave once this season, therefore they are excited to play them once more. Due to the absence of their top-order hitters and the injury to important bowlers, they have suffered.
