Welsh Fire vs Oval Invincibles Predictions

The Fire are a strong side, but they just don’t have the all-round power of the Invincibles. The Invincibles’ top order is strong, and their bowling attack is red hot, with Mohammad Amir, Sam Curran and Adam Zampa posing a huge challenge for the best of teams. It will be a good battle but the Invincibles should take this.

Oval Invincibles’ Dawid Malan has scored 54, 29, 93* & 24* in his last 5 innings.
Oval Invincibles’ Tawanda Muyeye has scored 73, 45, 61 & 23 in his last 5 innings.
Welsh Fire’s Tom Abell has scored 30, 47*, 29 & 11* in his last 4 innings.
Welsh Fire’s Tom Kohler-Cadmore has scored 51, 43* & 20 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head

The Invincibles won their first two Hundred clashes against the Fire, but last year their clash ended in a tie.

Welsh Fire Form

The Welsh Fire got off to a great start, restricting the Manchester Originals to 86/8 off their 100 balls.

David Willey (3/14) and Josh Little (2/21) ripped through the Originals innings as they stumbled to 37/7 off 54 balls, before recovering to 86/8 off their 100 balls.

The Fire had no trouble hitting their target, Joe Clarke top-scoring with 33 off 24 balls as they reached 87/2 off just 57 balls.

Welsh Fire Team News

The Welsh Fire crushed the Manchester Originals, but one shouldn’t read too much into that win at this stage of the season.

Oval Invincibles Form

The Invincibles got off to a great defence of their Hundred title by blowing the Birmingham Phoenix away to the tune of eight wickets.

The Invincibles scuttled the Phoenix for 89 off 81 balls, with Adam Zampa proving almost unplayable in taking 3/11. Mohammad Amir (2/7), Saqib Mahmood (2/25) and Will Jacks (2/8) all contributing to the Phoenix’s downfall.

Dawid Malan (24*) and Sam Billings (31*) eased the Invincibles home off 69 balls and for the loss of just two wickets.

Oval Invincibles Team News

The Invincibles are looking incredibly strong, and aside from great batting they have a really dangerous bowling attack that all sides will struggle to contend with.

Verdict

Welsh Fire v Oval Invincibles - The Hundred

I am backing Oval Invincibles to win. I am also backing Dawid Malan to top score for the Invincibles.

Tom Abell is a good bet to top score for the Welsh Fire.
