The Hundred Women's Competition 2021: Match 4, Northern Superchargers vs Welsh Fire - Preview, predicted XIs, match prediction, live streaming, weather forecast, and pitch report

Northern Superchargers Women will take on the Welsh Fire Women in the fourth match of The Hundred Women's 2021. The game will be played at Headingley, Leeds, and will begin at 7:00 PM IST on Saturday, July 24.

Northern Superchargers boast of international pedigree. Laura Wolvaardt, Jemimah Rodrigues, Laura Kimmince and Lauren Winfield-Hill form a significant part of the side. Aussie star Alyssa Healy was also a part of the squad but withdrew from the tournament before it began.

Welsh Fire have also been hit hard by the withdrawals of Meg Lanning, Beth Mooney, and Georgia Wareham. However, the return of Sarah Taylor from retirement is a boost for the team and tournament, while the likes of Georgia Redmayne and Hayley Matthews will have added responsibility.

Pitch Report

The track at Headingley is good for batting and 140 can be considered a par score. In the recent England vs Pakistan T20I, the hosts scored 200 batting first, with the track aiding batsmen, even bounce, and a quick outfield. Teams are more likely to bat first and set a score rather than chase under the lights.
