Welsh Fire Women vs Southern Brave Women Match Prediction – Who Will Win

Southern Brave Women enter this match as overwhelming favourites, having won all five of their matches and standing comfortably atop the table with 20 points. Welsh Fire Women have shown moments of brilliance with the bat, but have only won one of their four matches and have struggled for consistency despite Georgia Voll's outstanding form. Southern Brave has a clear advantage due to their unbeaten streak, deeper roster, and superior momentum.

Prediction: Southern Brave Women (SOB-W) to win.

Sophia Gardens has generally been a good batting surface this season, with the average first-innings strike rate in Men's Hundred matches here at 150 and the average second-innings total at 142, indicating that defending a total has had a slight advantage over chasing at this venue thus far. The pitch has true bounce and reasonably quick outfields, but Welsh Fire's pace assault of Marco Jansen, Lockie Ferguson, Chris Woakes, and Sam Cook has shown that they can trouble batters with the new ball here.

Who Will Win WEF vs SOB Today? — Expert Prediction Match 19

Welsh Fire are confident going into this game, with the tournament's best record and a settled top order formed around Phil Salt and Rachin Ravindra, backed up by a pace attack which has troubled batters at home all season. Southern Brave have demonstrated their ability to win low-key games, with Jamie Smith and Marcus Stoinis proving to be their most effective match-winners, but their uneven opening stands remain a source of concern against a quality new ball attack. Expect Welsh Fire to have an advantage in front of their home crowd.

WEF vs SOB Match Result – The Hundred Men's 2026 Match 19 Result

(To be updated after the match - August 3, 2026)

The former captain of the Indian side, MS Dhoni, and the current wicket-keeper of the national side, Rishabh Pant, have been seen together as the latter has been spending time with Dhoni in Ranchi ahead of the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, which begins on August 15. They were spotted together in Dhoni’s Thar car.

Rishabh Pant has admired Dhoni so much since the beginning of his career and has learnt a lot of wicket-keeping skills from the veteran. Having been out of the white-ball sides of the blue brigade, he is eager to perform well and make a strong return to the squad. 

Dhoni and Pant spotted cruising Ranchi streets in their black Thar on Sunday night

A video has gone viral on social media platforms where Pant and Dhoni were seen coming out in a Black Mercedes on Sunday afternoon, with the latter being in the driving seat while Pant was right beside him.

In the evening, both were seen to be coming inside Dhoni’s residence in the Black Thar car of Dhoni, who drives the Delhi batter in the house. It has been reported that Pant has been seeking advice and training hard with his idol ahead of the Sri Lanka Test matches.

Dhoni has backed Pant so much in his career, despite all the criticism and pressure. The former World Cup-winning captain has helped him grow as a cricketer from the very first day when the left-handed batter made his debut in the IPL for the Delhi Capitals (DC).

Pant is staying at Dhoni's house and training with him ahead of the Sri Lanka Tests

Recently, Pant eclipsed Dhoni’s long-held record for the most centuries by an Indian wicket-keeper batter when he nailed his seventh century against England at Headingley, as the Ranchi-born set the previous record with his six centuries during his career.

The Indian batter has been in Ranchi for a few days, as he was spotted with Dhoni along with Shahbaz Nadeem, the former left-arm spinner of the Indian side, while they were in a gym session.

Pant has been training under Dhoni at the JSCA International Cricket Stadium in Ranchi. He has always seen Dhoni as an elder brother for his wicket-keeping skills, which improved him as a batter and a wicket-keeper.

India have dealt a massive blow as their premier pacer, Jasprit Bumrah, is set to miss the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, starting on August 15 in Galle. The reports have claimed that the seamer continues to feel discomfort in his left knee after an assessment took place at the Centre of Excellence in the BCCI. 

Bumrah, after taking a break post the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 for the Mumbai Indians, returned to action during the three-match ODI series against England, where he missed the third clash due to an injury. He was racing against time to be fit for the Sri Lanka series.

Big blow for India — Bumrah ruled out of the Sri Lanka Test series

The BCCI CoE members have decided not to take any risk with Bumrah and keep him fresh and injury-free, keeping in mind the number of ODIs he would play to prepare himself for the upcoming ODI World Cup 2027 in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Namibia.

The Ahmedabad-born got an injection for the knee issue that flared up during the business end of the T20 World Cup 2026, as the 32-year-old was given the injection as scheduled last month and completed the recovery, which took more time than initially expected. There were discussions of keeping him ready for the second Test in Colombo.

“There have been instances in the past where players have been rushed back to cricket, and have broken down. You can't take that risk again. Especially with Bumrah. So complete recovery is the only goal, and there is a lot of cricket left in the year. There is the Asian Games, the tour of New Zealand and even the Border-Gavaskar Trophy early next year.” The TOI report expressed.

Siraj, Prasidh Krishna or Gurnoor Brar — Who leads India's pace attack in Galle?

In the absence of Bumrah, the BCCI selectors will need to name a replacement in their 15-member squad. Auqib Nabi Dar could finally get his first call-up to the squad in place of Bumrah, while Mohammed Siraj will again need to lead the pace attack.

The Hyderabad-born has been tremendous for the blue brigade in the longest format, especially in the recent few years, having collected overall 140 wickets in 86 innings at an average of 29.74 and a strike rate of 50.60, thanks to five five-wicket hauls.

The team will assemble in Mumbai on August 3 for their departure on the following day. After a three-day practice game, the opening Test begins on August 15. 

England footballer Jude Bellingham attended The Hundred 2026 clash between the Birmingham Phoenix and the Welsh Fire at Edgbaston in Birmingham. The co-owner of the franchise enjoyed the action from the stands and also spent time interacting with the Pakistan players, Usman Tariq and Fatima Sana, during his visit. 

After gaining success at the FIFA World Cup 2026 for the England side, Bellingham returned home during the off-season. He previously revealed that cricket has been his favourite sport to watch outside football.

How Birmingham Phoenix's cheeky Instagram bait got Bellingham to reply

The broadcaster shared a video of Bellingham as mystery spinner Usman Tariq, bowled to the England midfielder before the pair shared a warm hug. Bellingham enjoyed swinging the bat during the light-hearted cross-sport interaction. He also met the women’s captain of the Pakistan side, Fatima Sana, during the double-header at Edgbaston.

The interactions gained popularity on social media, with the fans enjoying the meeting between the football star and the Pakistan players.

Before the Men’s Hundred 2026 clash, the footballer walked onto the field and handed the match coin to Phoenix captain Donovan Ferreira for the toss.

Usman Tariq's rollercoaster Hundred 2026 so far

Pakistan's Tariq has picked up a total of 107 wickets in 73 innings during the T20 format of the game at an average of 18.18 and a strike rate of 15.80 and a fine economy rate of under seven at the best bowling figures of 4/16 in an innings.

On the other hand, after a strong start, Manchester Super Giants have lost two consecutive matches. However, due to a better run rate than London, it is in third place on the points table. They suffered a 6-wicket defeat against Trent Rockets in the last match. Jos Buttler is in excellent form and is the team's highest run-scorer. A fierce clash could be witnessed today, with both teams striving to strengthen their positions on the points table.

The Gujarat Titans’ spinner, R Sai Kishore, has opened up on his heated face-off with the former captain of the franchise, Hardik Pandya, from the 2025 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It went viral on social media platforms. 

Kishore reckoned that every player, upon entering the field, would always be aggressive in their actions, which has been part and parcel of the game. There wasn’t much heat between Pandya and Kishore after the end of the encounter.

"We don't take anything personally" — Kishore opens up on the viral moment

The Tamil Nadu spinner believed that every player would always want to be aggressive and competitive while entering the field, as it would bring out the dark side of the player. Expecting things to be soft is what most viewers actually want.

Watch Sai Kishore's view on heated clash with Hardik Pandya- 

🔴 SAI KISHORE FINALLY BREAKS SILENCE ON HARDIK PANDYA CLASH 🤯

Sai said🎙️: Sledging isn't necessary, but on the field every player becomes highly competitive and does whatever it takes to give their team an advantage. He added that players become completely different people… pic.twitter.com/SBzM8m7Xep

— Sam (@cricsam02) August 1, 2026

“More often than not, you don’t like it. As a viewer, you would always want everything to be very soft. That’s how I want it at least. But when you enter the field, things can be different. Entering the field, you are very competitive, and your dark side is there.” Kishore opened up on the stare-down with Hardik Pandya in a recent podcast.

“When they enter the field, everyone becomes quite aggressive. So, whatever has to be done for that moment, it has to be there. But because I am not in the AC room and chilled out, I would be telling that. But it’s not that situation,” He addressed.

Umpire forced to step in as Pandya and Kishore squared up mid-over

The Shubman Gill-led Titans got the better of the Mumbai Indians in that IPL 2026 clash by 36 runs. But the biggest talking point was the stare-down between the MI skipper and the GT spinner. However, after the game ended, Kishore played down the incident, calling Hardik a ‘good friend.’

“He’s a good friend of mine; inside the field it should be like that. Inside the field, anybody is an opponent, but we don’t take things personally. We are good competitors. That's how I think the game should be.” The India-spinner revealed at the end of the contest.

In the 2025 season of the IPL, Kishore picked up 19 wickets in just 15 innings at an average of around 20 and an economy rate of 9.24, with the best bowling figures of 3/30 in an innings.

From Ashes duels to India vs Pakistan clashes — The on-field battles that still divide fans today

The rivalries between the two sides work as the emotional bridge between the fans and the action. Generations grow up watching the same clashes, which are made of tension, excitement, and loyalty. Every match is filled with redemption, dominance, and unforgettable moments.

Here are the top 10 iconic cricket rivalries as these games define the eras, unite the nations in passion, and turn the game more than just a game.

#10 Australia vs New Zealand (Chappell-Hadlee Trophy)-

The Trans-Tasman cricket rivalry between New Zealand and Australia has been defined by the competitiveness between the two sides, along with the 1981 underarm incident. The two sides faced each other in a Test match for the first time in March 1946 in Wellington before the Kiwis secured their Test victory against the rivals in 1974 in Christchurch. The rivalry is glorified with the high-stakes World Cup glory in the 1992 and 2015 finals.

In Test history, the Blackcaps have earned eight Test wins over the Aussies out of 62 games, losing 36 clashes. In ODIs, they have bagged 39 victories in 142 clashes at a W/L ratio of 0.406, while in T20Is, they got five wins in 22 games.

#9 India vs Sri Lanka rivalry-

The subcontinental rivalry between India and Sri Lanka has been highlighted by the frequent encounters and the unforgettable moments, with the Indian fans recalling the ODI World Cup 2011 final at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The key highlights include the historic first Test win in 1985, India’s multi-format dominance and the unforgettable game of the 1996 World Cup semifinal.

In Tests, India have earned 22 victories over Sri Lanka, losing only seven. Meanwhile, in the 50-over format, the blue brigade stands with 99 wins over the Asian rival in 171 fixtures, along with their superb dominance of 21 victories in 33 clashes in the shortest format of the game.

It’s noteworthy that Sri Lanka won their maiden and only T20 World Cup title in 2014, beating India in the final.

#8 South Africa vs England (Basil D’ Oliveria Trophy)-

The cricketing rivalry between South Africa and England has spanned back to 1889, defined by the Basil D’ Oliveria Trophy. The latter toured the Rainbow Nation in 1889, playing the inaugural Test match in Port Elizabeth.

In 1968, Basil D’ Oliveria’s inclusion in the England squad sparked political issues with South Africa’s government, which led to the cancellation of the 1968-69 trip, triggering the Proteas’ 21-year international cricket isolation.

The significant moment is the Centurion forfeit in 2000 in a bizarre move from the Proteas’ Hansie Cronje. The Proteas have won 35 Tests against England, losing 66 out of 156 Tests. In ODIs, they got 37 wins along with the 14 T20I victories out of the 28 clashes.

#7 England vs West Indies- (Richards-Botham Trophy)-

 The longest format of the game between England and West Indies is played for the Richards-Botham Trophy, which replaced the historic Wisden Trophy in 2020. The previous title was established in 1963 to mark the 100th edition of the Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack, as it was permanently retired. The first official Test was in 1928 at Lord’s.

One of the superb moments between the two sides is England’s Tony Greig’s infamous remark about making the West Indies grovel that fired up the Caribbean side, leading to a 3-0 rout. The Caribbean side faced a 5-0 blackwash on England in England.

England have a 19-19 win-loss head-to-head record against the West Indies in T20Is, along with earning 57 ODI wins in 111 games in the 50-over format. In Tests, the Joe Root-led side has completed 54 Test wins out of 166 clashes, losing 59. 

#6 England vs India- (Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy)-

The Test trophy between England and India is named the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Previously, in England, the trophy was called the Pataudi Trophy, while in India, the title is called ‘Anthony de Mello Trophy.’ The rivalry between the two sides started in June 1932 at Lord’s.

The blue brigade secured their maiden Test victory against England at Chennai under Vijay Hazare. Later, in 1971, Ajit Wadekar led India to their first-ever series victory on English soil. They defeated the opposition in the 1983 WC semifinal in Manchester, including the famous T20 World Cups, NatWest Series final in 2002, and the famous Test matches in 2021 and so many.

India have beaten England in 37 Tests, besides losing 53 in 141 games. In ODIs, they have collected 62 victories out of the 113 encounters, while in T20Is, they are leading with the 18-16 margin in 35 games.

#5 West Indies vs Australia (Frank Worrell Trophy)-

The cricket trophy contested between West Indies and Australia is called the Frank Worrell Trophy, awarded for their Test match series. The key milestone between the two sides is included of the historic 1960 tied test, the dominant era of the Caribbean side in the late 1970s and 1980s, along with the fierce competition between the two sides.

In 27 T20I matches between the two sides, the West Indies have earned 11 victories out of 27 clashes at a win-loss ratio of 0.687. In the ODIs, they have collected 61 victories out of 146 encounters, losing 79 clashes, while in Tests, they have got 33 Test victories in 123 fixtures at a win-loss ratio of 0.515.

#4 South Africa vs Australia-

There is no dedicated name for the trophy between South Africa and Australia. However, the games are very competitive and defined by the fierce fast bowling along with the iconic historical upsets. Australia played their final series in the Rainbow Nation in 1970 before South Africa suffered a 21-year international isolation due to apartheid.

The significant games between the two sides include the 434-run chase in 2006 at the Wanderers in Johannesburg before the Proteas chased down a massive target of 414 in Perth in 2009, which was their first-ever Test series win down under. In the controversial part, it also includes the Sandpaper Gate in 2018.

The Proteas earned 27 victories out of 102 Tests at a win-loss ratio of 0.50, while in ODIs, they are leading with a margin of 57-52 in 113 clashes of the 50-over format. In T20Is, they are trailing by a 9-19 margin in 28 games.

#3 Australia vs India (Border-Gavaskar Trophy)-

The cricket rivalry between India and Australia is defined by the birth of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. They played their first-ever Test series in 1947-48 down under, when a strong Australian side won by a margin of 4-0. They heavily dominated the blue brigade, who got their first-ever Test series win down under in 2018/19, followed by 2020/21.

The rivalry includes the famous 2001 Kolkata Test match where Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman batted out the tourists. Under MS Dhoni, India also won a landmark tri-series in ODIs in 2008, while the Virat Kohli-led side won their very first Test series down under. Australia bounced back with the 2021-23 WTC, ODI WC 2023, and BGT 2024/25 victories. 

The two sides have faced each other in 37 T20Is, with India leading by a strong 22-12 margin. In ODIs, they have earned 59 wins in 155 ODIs at a win-loss ratio of 0.686. Meanwhile, in Tests, India are behind with a 33-48 margin in 112 clashes.

#2 England vs Australia (The Ashes)-

A tiny 15-centimetre wooden urn contains the ashes of the burned cricket bail when Australia beat England on English soil for the very first time in 1882. Over the years, this remains the yardstick for judging the players’ ability to do well under pressure. The first Test between the two sides happened in 1877 at the MCG.

The 2005 Ashes remains the most epic one due to the close encounters and some superb performances from both sides, where the hosts, England, reclaimed the urn by 2-1. In 2014/15, Mitchell Johnson terrorized the poms, while in 2023, it was Australia against Ben Stokes’ Bazball, drawing 2-2.

In 366 Tests between the two sides, England are trailing by 113-156 to Australia, who are leading in the ODIs too with the 92-65 margin. In the shortest format, they have shared the margin by 12-12.

#1 India vs Pakistan-

There is no name for the trophy, but it remains the most-watched rivalry of the game, born from the 1947 partition of British India and fuelled by the following political tensions. Pakistan made its first official tour of India for a Test series in 1952, which the blue brigade won by a 2-1 margin.

Despite the fierce contests between the two sides, India holds an overwhelming win advantage over Pakistan in the ODI World Cups, having not lost a single game. They won the T20 World Cup 2007 by beating the arch-rivals, which gave birth to the Indian Premier League (IPL). It’s noteworthy that Pakistan haven’t beaten India in a bilateral series since 2012 and are very unlikely to do so.

India lead the T20I margin by 13-3 against Pakistan, who, however, have 73 wins against India’s 58 in the ODIs. The latter also lead by a 12-9 margin in 59 Tests.

Top 10 most iconic cricket rivalries ever- FAQs 

The left-arm fast bowler of the Pakistan side, Shaheen Afridi, has suddenly decided to pull out of the Lanka Premier League (LPL) 2026 where he played for the Kandy Royals. The development has come after the fast bowler lodged a complaint with the anti-corruption unit after getting dropped from a particular fixture. 

The competition hasn’t started on a successful note due to the outside issues as the Jaffna Kings co-owner, Manjot Kalra, was arrested on suspicion of attempting to bribe a player, just before the opening game of the competition.

Shaheen Afridi prepares to leave Sri Lanka after Kandy Royals drop him mid-game despite assurances

Afridi has decided to leave Sri Lanka in between the LPL 2026 which has not been a good indication as it nearly comes to end of the competition. The fast bowler’s reason to leave the competition isn’t known yet, but the assumption is that it could be due to his anti-corruption complaint

The Pakistan pacer, who has picked up over 369 wickets in 265 innings of the shortest format at an average of 21.20 and an economy rate of just over eight, ends the LPL 2026 campaign in a struggling manner.

He picked up seven wickets in the LPL 2026 out of six innings at an average of 32 and a strike rate of 18.80 and an economy rate of just 10.18 with the best bowling figures of 3/27 in an innings.

Why Afridi reported the incident to LPL's anti-corruption unit — And how the rift was resolved

It was reported that Afrid was so upset with the treatment of the franchise. That was the time when he first thought of leaving Sri Lanka before the apologies from the team pushed him to stay for the rest of the competition.

There was a sequence of the events that broke the communication over the role of the player in the match. He was given the clear assurance of playing as an impact player.

But the issue escalated when the match started, as the player realised that he won’t feature. After being dropped for the game, he brought the matter to the attention of the anti-corruption official. It will be interesting to see what action does the board takes on Afridi regarding his LPL participation in 2027.

Sri Lanka Women vs Pakistan Women Match Prediction – Who Will Win

Sri Lankan women are heavy favorites to win this contest. They have a stronger batting and bowling line than the Pakistan Women's team, which is less experienced. With many young players given opportunities and key senior players absent, the visitors are in for another tough game. We believe Sri Lanka Women will win this match and win the T20I series 2-0. 

Prediction: Sri Lanka Women (SL-W) to win.
