The 14th match of the third edition of the Women’s Hundred competition will see the Birmingham Phoenix Women square off against the Welsh Fire Women. Edgbaston in Birmingham will host this encounter.
Birmingham Phoenix Women are struggling in this year’s competition. They have lost two fixtures so far, with one game washed out due to rain. They suffered a loss against the Manchester Originals Women in their last game.
Sophie Devine top-scored with 27 for the Phoenix side but a lack of contributions from the other batters resulted in them getting knocked over on 87. The bowlers tried hard but failed to hold their nerves as the Originals emerged victorious with five wickets in hand.
Welsh Fire, meanwhile, are having a fantastic time in the Women’s Hundred 2023. After abandonment of their opening game, they have won their next two fixtures and have two points under their belt. They beat the Oval Invincibles Women in their previous outing.
The Fire Women bowled brilliantly and knocked over the Invincibles Women on a modest total of 80, with Shabnim Ismail finishing with three scalps. Georgia Elwiss then top-scored with 33 as they chased down the total with 20 balls to spare.
