Welsh Fire and London Spirit are set to lock horns in the sixth match of The Hundred 2025 at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. Both teams will be desperate to secure their first win of the season after stumbling in their respective openers.

The Welsh Fire, led by captain Tom Abell, will be aiming for a stronger performance after losing their first game. With a star-studded batting lineup that includes international heavyweights like Jonny Bairstow and Steve Smith, they will be hoping their key players can fire on all cylinders and guide them to a much-needed victory on their home turf.

Meanwhile, the London Spirit, captained by Kane Williamson, will be looking for a complete turnaround in their fortunes. After a difficult start to their campaign, they will need their top players, including David Warner and Liam Dawson, to step up and deliver a strong performance to challenge the Fire. This match is a crucial opportunity for both teams to get their campaigns back on track and build some early momentum in the tournament.

Sophia Gardens Pitch Report

Sophia Gardens is a pitch that often offers a good balance between bat and ball, but with a definite lean towards the bowlers. Pacers, in particular, will enjoy the surface, as it tends to offer some movement and bounce, especially with the new ball. While a good score is certainly possible, the average first-innings total in Women’s Hundred matches here has been around 134. Chasing a target is often the preferred option for teams, as the pitch can become a little more predictable in the second innings.
