LNS-W vs WEF-W Match Prediction – Who will win today’s The Hundred Women match?

The two bottom-placed teams – London Spirit and Welsh Fire – will lock horns in the 16th match of The Hundred Women’s 2022. The two teams are yet to win a game at the tournament, and one of them will finally open their account by bagging the much-awaited win. It is near impossible for the two teams to have qualifications hopes, but they’ll surely put in their best.

London Spirit, led by Charlie Dean this season, faced a major blow before the start of the tournament as the regular skipper Heather Knight was ruled out. That made the situation even worse for the team and they have been fighting hard to rise above the rest. Welsh Fire formed a decent team this season, but even after terrific performances by the big players on the side, the team has not succeeded as a unit.

LNS-W vs WEF-W Pitch Report

Lord’s has hosted just one game in the tournament so far, that too the men’s game. Thus, this will be the first game of the women’s tournament at the historic venue. Typically, Lord’s provides a green surface along with some support for the pacers. Often, runs are difficult to come by, which results in low-scoring games. But in the most recent T20 played here, sides batting first have triumphed more frequently than otherwise.

LNS-W vs WEF-W, Match 16, Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match

Beth Mooney:

The Australian batter, who opens the innings for London Spirit, will be expected to be in good touch against the Welsh Fire attack. To put a brake on the losing streak, Mooney will have to unleash her power-hitting prowess, just like she did in her very first game of the tournament this season. She is among the leading run-scorers in the tournament and would look to move to the top spot.

Probable best bowler of the match

Amelia Kerr:

The New Zealander has been showcasing some fine performances with the ball this season. Currently, she’s the leading wicket-taker for the London Spirit and is likely to keep up with the game. She has not gone wicketless in any of the three games that she has played so far and thus will be expected to improve her economy and bag more wickets.
