Welsh Fire Women (WEF W) square off against Trent Rockets Women (TRT W) in match No. 27 of The Hundred Women's 2025 competition at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on Sunday, August 24.

Tammy Beaumont-led Welsh Fire has only won one out of the six games they have played so far. They have already been eliminated, having suffered five defeats. Welsh Fire managed to end their losing streak by beating Birmingham Phoenix in their most recent clash by 36 runs.

Meanwhile, the Trent Rockets have two wins and four defeats after playing six games. They are placed at No. 5 on the points table. After two consecutive defeats, Ashleigh Gardner's women returned to winning ways in their last game, when they beat Oval Invincibles by six wickets.

Run-scoring hasn't been easy at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. Batters will need to be wary, especially when the ball is new, as there can be some assistance for the fast bowlers. Batters who get themselves set at the crease should look to capitalise.

Hayley Matthews, Sophia Dunkley, Tammy Beaumont (C), Georgia Elwiss, Jess Jonassen, Sarah Bryce (WK), Alex Griffiths, Georgia Davis, Freya Davies, Shabnim Ismail, Katie Levick.

Bryony Smith, Grace Scrivens, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Ashleigh Gardner (C), Jodi Grewcock, Heather Graham, Eleanor Threlkeld (WK), Alana King, Alexa Stonehouse, Kirstie Gordon, Cassidy McCarthy.

Nat Sciver-Brunt has played well so far in the tournament, having scored 166 runs from six innings at an average of 33.20 and a strike rate of 141.88. She was dismissed cheaply in the last game. A batter of her quality won't miss out too often.

The West Indies captain, Hayley Matthews, is among the leading wicket-takers in the tournament. She has bagged 11 wickets from six games at an average of 9.90 and a strike rate of 10.45. Her economy rate is an incredible 5.68. Her four-over spell is going to be crucial for Welsh Fire on Sunday.
