Southern Brave vs Welsh Fire Men Preview: After a commanding win by MI London over the SunRisers Leeds on the opening day of the Men’s Hundred 2026 competition, there is more action in store on Day 2. The Utilita or Rose Bowl in Southampton will set the scene for the clash between Welsh Fire and Southern Brave as both sides will open their campaign on July 22, Thursday.
Led by the wily death-bowling specialist Chris Jordan, they have some dashing and enterprising short-format stalwarts like Jamie Smith, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs, Tom Abell, Marcus Stoinis and Caleb Falconer. While Jordan is likely to lead the attack, they have the pace battery of Jofra Archer, Luke Wood and Daniel Worrall too, with the masterful Adil Rashid as the leggie.
On the other hand, Welsh Fire has the fire of Phil Salt leading them, with the likes of Jordan Cox, Joe Root, Matthew Short and Rachin Ravindra in their batting ranks. Their bowling also has the quality of Chris Woakes, Marco Jansen, Sam Cook and Lockie Ferguson. Nevertheless, they only have a rookie spinner in Jafer Chohan; hence, Welsh Fire are bound to turn to the likes of Rachin and Short in that department.
