Match Prediction

The Ovals have won both of their games against Welsh Fire in the Hundred Ball Men's history. Instead of depending on great players, the Invincibles' strength comes in their balanced team. Meanwhile, Welsh Fire have a very good pace attack but has a lack of balance in their batting side. This might be the difference on a flat pitch that neutralises their bowling approach, which could be the likely scenario in this match. We believe Oval Invincibles will win this competition.
