Cricket Betting Tips for WEF vs LNS—6th Match, The Hundred 2025

Jonny Bairstow to score Over 23.5

The Welsh Fire opener is one of the most prolific batters at the top in T20s. He scored only 123 in the last season from 7 matches but will be out for redemption in this season.

David Warner to score Over 21.5

David Warner is one of those batters who doesn't take time to get going. Although he was flattened in his Hundred debut, but expect the southpaw to emerge from the ashes in this game.

Tom Abell to score Over 17.5

The Welsh Fire skipper batted no 4 in the last game and scored 18 runs off 11 deliveries. He could emerge as a silent contributor in this match.

Keaton Jennings to score Over 19.5

Jennings, the left-hand opener from Lancashire, will be opening the innings alongside David Warner for London Spirit. He has 142 runs to his name in his last 9 Hundred innings.

Check out our prediction for the WEF vs LNS The Hundred 2025, Match 6.

London Spirit are eyeing their first win of the season

London Spirit didn’t have the best of starts to their tournament campaign. They lost their opening fixture to the defending champions Oval Invincibles by 6 wickets. The Spirit, despite having big names like David Warner and Kane Williamson, failed to get a big score on the board and ultimately succumbed to the reigning champions.

After a demeaning loss, the Spirit should look to bounce back and get going on the points table by winning this game. Their opponents, Welsh Fire, don’t possess a good record, as they finished 6th on the table in the last season with only 2 wins and 4 losses from 8 fixtures.

What should the Spirit do to win this game? First off, their batters should bat responsibly and score big runs. In a format like the Hundred, scoring heavily is not only a necessity but also the need of the hour, especially when the team is one down in the competition. If they score big, things should fall into place for them.

Welsh Fire will look to better their efforts in the bowling unit

Welsh Fire should be disappointed for not crossing the finishing line in their opening fixture of the season against Northern Superchargers. They were in the driver’s seat in the first innings, having scored 143 for the loss of 9 wickets in the designated 100 balls. However, their bowling unit failed to defend a brilliant total on the board, and eventually they lost the game by a heavy margin of 8 wickets.

Heading into the contest against London Spirits, a team that lost their opening fixture as well, the Fire should look to rectify their errors from the last game and come up with a better plan, especially from the bowling point of view. Their bowlers need to step up and get their mojo back, as the tournament is long, and if the bowling unit won’t click, things won’t fall in place for the Welsh Fire.

Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
