The Oval Invincibles Women will take on the Welsh Fire Women in the ninth match of the Women’s Hundred 2023 Competition on Sunday, August 1. The Kennington Oval in London will play host to this exciting encounter.
The Oval Invincibles Women are the defending champions, clinching the title last year. They have won both editions of the Women’s Hundred so far and are a formidable side. They were scheduled to take on the London Spirit Women in their opening game but rain played a spoilsport.
Persistent rain in London washed out the game between the Oval Invincibles Women and the London Spirit. Both sides grabbed a point each. The defending champions will now face the Welsh Fire in their next game and will look to grab their first win of the competition.
The Welsh Fire Women, on the other hand, have three points to their name. Their opening fixture against the Manchester Originals Women was washed out due to rain. They faced the Southern Brave Women in their next game and beat them in a thriller of a contest.
On the back of an onslaught from Hayley Matthews (65 off 38 balls), the Welsh Fire Women posted 165 on the board. The bowlers then held their nerves and restricted the Brave Women to 161/4 to win the game by four runs. They will be eager to carry forward the winning momentum.
