The Hundred Men's 2026: Match 27, SRL vs WEF Match Prediction – Who will win today’s Hundred match between Sunrisers Leeds vs Welsh Fire?

Yet another thrilling encounter awaits as the Sunrisers Leeds (SRL) cross swords with the Welsh Fire (WEF) in Match No. 27 of the Hundred Men's 2026 season. This mouthwatering contest is scheduled to be played on Sunday, August 09, at Headingley in Leeds.

The Sunrisers Leeds have enjoyed a decent start to their campaign in the 2026 season. The side has played six matches, having clinched wins in four of them. They have sixteen points on the leaderboard and are placed at the second position. Another win can take them to the top of the points table, and they certainly would not mind that.

Welsh Fire, on the other hand, have had a similar fate as the Sunrisers, but an inferior net run-rate sees them sit fourth on the table despite collecting sixteen points after four wins in six games. With the race to the playoffs picking up thick and fast, the Welsh-based franchise will have to look for wins in their remaining fixtures.

The pitch at Headingley in Leeds is expected to offer a balanced surface, which allows an even-steven contest between bat and ball. There is going to be enough bounce on offer here, and the ball is expected to travel to the bat nicely. Spinners will also have a say a little later in the match, while batters will find it relatively easier to score runs on this surface.

Mitchell Marsh, Ryan Rickelton (WK), Harry Brook, Zak Crawley (C), Dan Lawrence, Matthew Revis, Liam Patterson-White, Brydon Carse, Matthew Potts, Nathan Ellis, Abrar Ahmed

Phil Salt (C & WK), Matthew Short, Joe Root, Rachin Ravindra, Jordan Cox, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Ben Kellaway, Marco Jansen, Chris Woakes, Lockie Ferguson, Sam Cook

Mitchell Marsh is one of the most experienced names featuring in the Hundred 2026. The seasoned campaigner has been a top performer for the Leeds-based franchise and is also the highest run-getter of the tournament currently. Marsh, who has 324 runs in six matches at an average of 54.00, will be eager to have yet another fruitful outing with the bat.

Nathan Ellis has emerged as one of the best overseas pacers in the ongoing edition of the competition. The right-arm fast bowler is someone who has the ability to bowl in the powerplay as well as towards the death, which has helped him pick eight wickets in six matches thus far. The Sunrisers will be banking once again on Ellis' services in the upcoming contest.
