The fifth match of the Men’s Hundred 2023 Competition will take place between the Southern Brave and Welsh Fire on Friday at the Rose Bowl in Southampton. Southern Brave didn’t have a good start to the Men’s Hundred 2023 as they suffered a loss against the Trent Rockets in their first game in the campaign opener. And, they will be looking to bounce back in their next match as well. The bowlers did a great job of restricting the Rockets to 133/8 where Chris Jordan picked up three wickets as well. In reply, Leus du Plooy top-scored with 29 but losing wickets at regular intervals cost them the game as they got bundled out on 127 to lose the game by six runs as well.
Welsh Fire, on the other hand, got off to a great start where they faced the Manchester Originals in their first game and beat them in a rain-curtailed fixture too. They will try to carry forward the winning momentum as well. In a 40-balls per side contest, Welsh Fire were asked to bat first and they pout up 94 on the board, courtesy of a quickfire 57 off 23 from Luke Wells. Shaheen Afridi and David Willey then grabbed two wickets each as they restricted the Originals to 85/4 to win the game by nine runs as well.
