The Hundred Women's 2023, Match 2, Welsh Fire vs Manchester Originals: Probable XIs, Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, Live Stream Details

The second match of the Women’s Hundred 2023 will see the Welsh Fire Women lock horns with the Manchester Originals Women. The Sophia Gardens in Cardiff will host this clash on Wednesday (August 2).

The Welsh Fire Women didn’t have the best of times in 2022 when they finished last in the points table. They managed to win only a single game in the competition and were the wooden spoon holders.

English opening batter Tammy Beaumont will lead the side in the Women’s Hundred 2023. Sophia Dunkley, Sarah Bryce, Hayley Matthews form a formidable batting lineup to go with the bowling group of Shabnim Ismail, Freya Davies and Alex Hartley.

The Manchester Originals Women also had a terrible time in the Women’s Hundred 2022. They won only two games out of six in the league stages and failed to qualify for the final.

Sophie Ecclestone has been handed the responsibility of leading the side. Kathryn Bryce, Deandra Dottin, Laura Wolvaardt, and Amanda-Jade Wellington have plenty of experience under their belt and will play a vital role for them in the competition.
