Venue | Sophie Gardens, Cardiff |
The two teams are placed at the bottom of the points table. Welsh Fire are last on the table with four losses in four games while Southern Brave have won just one in five games. The playoff chances look grim for the teams now but if they can put together a string of winning performances, you may never know.
Welsh Fire have been let down by the batters. They have failed to reach 120 on three of the four occasions and in the only game they did, they could only score 126 runs, which was never going to be enough.
Southern Brave started the tournament with a win against the same team, Welsh Fire but since has lost four games. Their batting too has been miserable.
The wickets are still very good to bat as the pace and bounce are very consistent. If batters can apply themselves and play sensibly, there is no reason why they can’t score big runs.
The weather is not very promising as there is an 80 per cent chance of rain on the match day. The humidity will also be on the higher side at 79 per cent.
Joe Clarke (wk), Tom Banton, Sam Hain, Ben Duckett, David Miller, Josh Cobb (c), Dwaine Pretorius, Matthew Critchley, Adam Zampa, David Payne, Jake Ball
Quinton de Kock (wk), James Vince (c), Alex Davies, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Ross Whiteley, James Fuller, George Garton/Rehan Ahmed, Jake Lintott, Daniel Moriarty, Michael Hogan
Changes are expected from both teams in the coming game. Chris Jordan has been ruled out of the tournament so Rehan Ahmed is likely to come in the Southern Brave team while Welsh Fire may give a game to Noor Ahmed.
The two teams have met each other three times with Southern Braves winning two games

Miller has been disappointing in the tournament so far but given the skills he possesses, he can’t be counted out. Miller might bat up the order in the next game to make the most of his abilities. Miller is certain to make almost all fantasy teams.
James Vince started the tournament with a blazing half century but since has not performed well. But he is an experienced campaigner and will know that his team needs him to step up after a string off losses. Vince can also come good in the coming game.
Stoinis is another good player to pick. He is a complete cricketer who can be utilised in many ways. He can bat at the top or in middle order, he can bowl a few handy overs and pluck some stunning catches. He is perfect for his format of the game.
He may not be consistent but he is a big hitter of a cricket ball and a genuine match winner on his day. He is someone who can play at a strike rate of 200 plus which is exactly what we look for while picking a team.
The experienced England pacer was in full flow in the last game and picked 4 wickets. Once again, a lot will rest on his shoulders to give the team early breakthroughs. He is a good choice from Welsh Fire team.
