Oval Invincibles Women (OVI-W) will play against Welsh Fire Women (WEF-W) in Match 16 of The Hundred Women’s 2025 at the Kennington Oval, London, Saturday, August 16, at 7:00 PM IST. After two consecutive defeats, the Invincibles, 2022 winners, had a restorer of confidence following a comeback victory against Birmingham Phoenix Women, which saw them move to fifth place in the standings.

Welsh Fire Women, on the other hand, are still looking for the first win of the season after three consecutive losses. Captain Tammy Beaumont will be expected to inspire the turnaround, as a defeat will make their task of climbing the table even harder.
