nsuperw vs wfirew Match Prediction & Analysis

Northern Superchargers’s women team is coached by retired player Danielle Hazell who played for England in all three formats of the game. The Superchargers are led by the right-hand batter and occasional wicket-keeper Lauren Winfield-Hill. They have three overseas players in their team - Laura Kimmince (Australia), Jemimah Rodrigues (India) and Laura Wolvaardt (South Africa).

As of now, Welsh Fire’s team management has not declared their captain, but most probably they would name the experienced star player Sarah Taylor as their captain, while Mark O'Leary is their coach. Among overseas players, they have Hayley Matthews (West Indies), Piepa Cleary (Australia) and Georgia Redmayne (Australia). The two sides will clash in Match 4 of “The Hundred”, where each side will play 100 balls – hence the name, shortening the Twenty20 game by around half-hour.
