WEF vs MNR Key Players

Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler returns to action after the T20 Blast, where he seems to have found some form. His numbers in the IPL prior to that though were not the greatest by his standards and he will be hoping to improve on that now in the Hundred as big crowds await him.

Joe Clarke

Joe Clarke was a standout performer last year with some consistent scores in the top-order. He has done pretty well in the domestic season as well and a good season here could see him put pressure on the national team selectors.

WEF vs MNR Match Tips

Welsh Fire did not have a great time last season and with Jonny Bairstow’s availability uncertain they will have their work cut-out for them against a strong Manchester unit.
