Oval Invincibles (OVI) are going to face Welsh Fire (WEF) in Match 16 of The Hundred Men’s 2025 at the Kennington Oval, London, on Saturday, August 16, at 10:30 PM IST. The Invincibles have gotten off to a great start by winning two out of three matches and at the moment, they are at the top of the points table with a good NRR of 2.085. On the other hand, Welsh Fire have had a tough time in the competition with only one victory in three matches and occupy the 6th spot.

Sam Billings-led the Invincibles, who have a powerful batting lineup supported by the all-round depth, whereas Tom Abell's Welsh Fire would be quite anxious to get back on track after their last outing, where they managed to win the game. Considering the Oval-based side enjoys a very dominant head-to-head record, the Fire will certainly have to play almost flawlessly to overthrow the home team.

OVI vs WEF: Pitch Report

The Kennington Oval in London is a batting-friendly venue, making it possible to post and chase massive scores. Dew in the second innings often makes it harder for bowlers to grip the ball, giving a significant advantage to power hitters and making chases even more favorable.
