The Hundred Men’s 2024 Match 10 | LNS vs WEF | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

London Spirit will lock horns with Welsh Fire in the 10th game of The Hundred Men’s 2024. Both teams are returning from respective defeats. London narrowly succumbed to the Birmingham Phoenix, losing by three wickets. Meanwhile, Welsh faced a tight contest, falling short by 10 runs against the current table-toppers, the Oval Invincibles.

London Spirit have had a forgettable campaign in the competition, losing two consecutive matches. After Southern Brave swatted them aside by seven wickets, the Spirit were handed a three-wicket defeat by Birmingham Phoenix. Batting failure has been one of the key reasons behind London's terrible performance this season. The bowlers also haven’t really delivered for the London Spirit yet. Olly Stone and Daniel Worrall have done a fine job with the new ball, but need the backup bowlers to do better. 

On the other hand,  Welsh Fire have blown hot and cold in The Hundred 2024, occupying the third position in the points table with one win in two outings. After crushing Manchester Originals by eight wickets, Welsh Fire received a ten-run defeat from the defending champions, Oval Invincibles. As their name suggests, the Fire have a ruthless top-order, comprising Jonny Bairstow, Joe Clarke and Tom Kohler-Cadmore. The pressure would also be on Jonny Bairstow to fire. He is one of the more experienced batters in the side and is expected to produce those big knocks.
