Welsh Fire Women face Southern Brave Women at Sophia Gardens in the 19th match of The Hundred Women’s 2026, an afternoon game on Monday 3 August.
Welsh Fire are captained by Sophie Devine and have Georgia Voll, Ella McCaughan and Freya Kemp in their possible top order. Georgia Wareham and Heather Graham add all-round options, and Rhianna Southby keeps wicket, with Sophia Smale, Grace Potts and Em Arlott in the bowling group.
Southern Brave Women are led by Sophie Molineux. Maia Bouchier, Lizelle Lee, Laura Wolvaardt and Jemimah Rodrigues give them a strong batting core, and Sarah Glenn, Issy Wong, Lauren Bell and Tilly Corteen-Coleman form a varied attack.
Cardiff conditions should offer something for both departments. The new ball may move early, then the pitch should play truer for batters who settle, before spinners and slower bowlers have an impact. With dry weather forecast and no dew, rotating the strike and keeping wickets in hand for the last 25 balls could decide the game. We expect Southern Brave Women to prevail.
