Can the Welsh Fire pick up their first win of the season?

Jonny Bairstow pulls to leg against the Superchargers.

Welsh Fire vs London Spirit Predictions

Both sides have a terrible record in The Hundred, but the Welsh Fire’s top-order is in better form, so I am backing them for the win.

Welsh Fire’s Jonny Bairstow top-scored with 42 off 23 balls against the Northern Superchargers.
Welsh Fire’s Steven Smith has scored 73, 66, 71, 48 & 29 in his last 8 innings.
London Spirit’s Kane Williamson has scored 7080 runs (ave 31.89) in 264 T20 innings.
London Spirit’s David Warner scored 75* for the Trailblazers against the Vikings.

Head-to-Head

Welsh Fire have won two and lost two of their four matches against the London Spirit.

Welsh Fire Form

The Welsh Fire opened their The Hundred season with an eight-wicket hammering at the hands of the Northern Superchargers.

Steven Smith (29 off 18) and Jonny Bairstow (42 off 23) got the Welsh Fire off to a flying start, but the rest of the top order failed to fire as they ended on 143/9.

The Superchargers put on a superb chase to clinch the win by eight wickets. Riley Meredith (2/33) returned the best figures with the ball for the Fire.

Welsh Fire Team News

There are no injury reports from the Welsh Fire squad. They have a strong batting line-up that have been scoring runs and will hope for greater backup from their middle-order.

London Spirit Form

London Spirit’s poor form in The Hundred continued with a six-wicket defeat at the hands of the Oval Invincibles.

Ashton Turner (21 off 14 balls) was the only London Spirit batter to score more than 12 runs as they were bowled out for just 80 runs.

Liam Dawson knocked over both Invincibles openers in returning figures of 2/9, but it was not enough to stave off a six-wicket defeat with 31 balls to spare.

London Spirit Team News

The Spirit might look to bring in some extra batting power to give their bowlers something to play with.

Verdict

Welsh Fire v London Spirit

I am backing Welsh Fire to win. I am also backing Jonny Bairstow to top score for Welsh Fire.

Kane Williamson is a good bet to top score for the London Spirit.
