In the 21st game of The Hundred 2025, Welsh Fire faced Southern Brave at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff. Home captain Tom Abell won the toss and chose to bowl. He came in for Stephen Eskinazi, while Brave made two changes, bringing in Reece Topley and Chris Jordan.
Brave had a poor start as Matt Henry bowled a brilliant spell of 2/5 in 20 balls, giving away very little. At one stage they were 94/6 and looked short of runs. Skipper James Vince made 29, but Hilton Cartwright turned the game around with a stunning unbeaten 51 off 19 balls, hitting five sixes and two fours. His late fireworks pushed Brave to 129/8. David Payne and Chris Green also picked up two wickets each for Fire.
Chasing 130, Jonny Bairstow gave Fire a quick start with 22 off 10 balls. But once he got out, the innings lost shape. Tom Kohler-Cadmore fought with 25 runs, but the rest couldn’t finish the job. Brave’s bowlers stayed calm at the end and pulled off a close 4-run win. With this result, Southern Brave stay alive in the tournament, while Welsh Fire remain at the bottom and continue their losing run.
