Oval Invincibles Women are set to take on Welsh Fire Women in the 16th game of The Hundred Women 2021 at Kennington Oval in London on Monday.

The Invincibles have two wins from three games. They started their campaign with successive wins over Manchester Originals and London Spirit. However, their unbeaten run ended with a loss against the Northern Superchargers in their previous outing. They failed to chase down a target of 110 runs as the Superchargers restricted them to 105/4.

Meanwhile, the Fire lost their first two games of The Hundred. Fortunately, a victory in their previous game against the Originals helped them regain some momentum. They chased down 121 runs with nine wickets and 12 deliveries to spare.

The Invincibles will look to get back to winning ways. The Fire, on the other hand, need to carry their momentum forward after a disappointing start to their campaign.
