Welsh Fire v MI London live on Sky Sports Cricket: full broadcast team for The Hundred clash at Sophia Gardens

Match date: 25 July 2026

Welsh Fire take on MI London in The Hundred Men at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff on Saturday 25 July 2026, with the match scheduled to start at 18:00 UK time. The game will be shown live on Sky Sports Cricket, and Sky’s own fixtures listing confirms that all games in The Hundred are live on Sky Sports, with this men’s fixture set for the evening slot in Cardiff.[14][1]

The broadcast will be led by Hannah Wilkes as presenter, giving viewers the pre-match build-up, in-game analysis and interviews from around the ground. Wilkes has become a familiar face across Sky’s cricket coverage, and her role here fits the network’s usual style of combining presentation from the venue with live tactical discussion during the match.

On commentary duties, Sky has assembled a strong and experienced panel. Mark Butcher is one of the main voices, bringing years of broadcasting experience alongside a playing career for England, where he was known as a stylish left-handed batter. Simon Doull, also a main commentator, is a former New Zealand fast bowler who has built a long second career in cricket media, especially for his clear match-reading and no-nonsense analysis. Dominic Cork adds further depth: the former England seamer has been a regular on television and radio for years and is widely respected for his insight into seam bowling, swing and pressure situations in short-format cricket.

The co-commentary team is equally well known to British cricket audiences. Robert Croft, the former Wales and England spinner, is an established pundit whose technical understanding of spin and match conditions makes him especially relevant at a venue such as Sophia Gardens. Lydia Greenway, a former England international and one of the most prominent female voices in cricket broadcasting, brings sharp tactical analysis and a strong understanding of the modern white-ball game. Her broadcasting profile has grown significantly since retirement, and she is now a regular expert across major domestic and international competitions.

For viewers in the UK and Ireland, Sky Sports Cricket is the main channel for this fixture, and the match is part of the full live package for The Hundred. BBC coverage has also featured in The Hundred’s wider broadcast mix in recent seasons, but this specific match is listed by Sky as a live televised game.[14] The venue information is consistent across fixture listings, which place Welsh Fire v MI London at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff on the same date and time.[1][2]

The fixture also carries added interest because the MI London brand has become one of the competition’s best-known sides, and the women’s and men’s double-header format has helped The Hundred build a strong audience in Britain and overseas. Cardiff’s Sophia Gardens remains one of the competition’s most recognisable settings, combining a central city location with a ground that regularly hosts major domestic and international cricket.[2]

For fans following from outside the UK, live coverage and streaming rights can vary by territory, but the British broadcast focus for this match is firmly on Sky Sports Cricket. For more background on the competition itself, see The Hundred.
