The Hundred 2023: Welsh Fire's Alex Griffiths and Alex Hartley are 'incredibly proud' of turnaround

Welsh Fire's Alex Griffiths and Alex Hartley said the team can be "incredibly proud" of how they have turned their form around in 2023.

Last year Fire's women's team finished last in eighth place, picking up just two points and winning just one game.

But this season they have won four of their six games, and sit second in the table behind Southern Brave with qualification for the finals in reach.

"We can be incredibly proud of the turnaround we have had," said Hartley.

"We could do with Southern Brave losing one so we finish top and go straight through to the final but there is no expectations.

"Welsh Fire should qualify, we have got the team to win in our two remaining games."

Fire face London Spirit this Sunday at Sophia Gardens, with a win ensuring qualification to the finals.

If they fail to beat Spirit it will set up a crucial final game against Northern Superchargers - who currently sit third.

Last time out against Trent Rockets, Welsh Fire's captain Tammy Beaumont broke records.

Beaumont hit the first century in the women's competition, while her spectacular score of 118 is the best in either the men's or women's competition to date.
