SOU Vs WEF Match Prediction: The Hundred Men’s 2026 will be the sixth season of this unique tournament. Nowhere else in the world do we see a top-level cricket competition that deviates from the game’s standard formats. But here, rather than each team playing 10 or 20 overs, both innings last for just 100 deliveries.
The Southern Brave were the inaugural champions of The Hundred Men’s competition, winning the title all the way back in 2021. Since then, they have made it to the Eliminator once and finished as the runners-up in 2024. Last season, they barely missed out on a playoff spot, finishing fourth on the table.
On the other hand, Welsh Fire is arguably the worst-performing team in the history of The Hundred Men’s tournament. They are the only team in this competition to have never finished in the top three. In 2025, they finished at the bottom of the league in eighth place.

SOU Vs WEF Match 2 The Hundred Men’s 2026 Rose Bowl Pitch Report
The pitches at the Rose Bowl have historically been quite batting-friendly, seeing that some decent runs were scored here. In T20 cricket, the 200-run mark was regularly breached here. However, in the last couple of years, it seems that a new layer of grass makes batting slightly more difficult early into the match. While the pitch is still a batter’s haven for much of a match, the difficulty spike, especially in the early innings, has shifted the decision making for the toss. While a few years ago, batting first was the obvious choice here, now, teams winning after batting or bowling first is much closer. As for the boundaries, they are on the larger side. The square boundaries are about 64-66m in length, while the front boundaries are over 70m away.
SOU Vs WEF Match 2 Weather Forecast
