Welsh Fire form

Welsh Fire registered a hard-fought win at Nottingham on Saturday while defending their total of 125/8 with great help from their skilled bowlers. Their bowling unit, founded on experience available in the ranks, earned their team the win. Added to that, though it was a low score, batters also chipped in with runs like Jonny Bairstow, who scored 55 runs off 45 balls, and captain Tom Abell, who added 33 runs. The team's bowling attack looks well-rounded, with David Payne and Haris Rauf outstanding for taking two wickets each in front of their home crowd.

Welsh Fire Predicted Lineup

Luke Wells, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Joe Clarke, Tom Abell (c), Glenn Phillips, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, David Willey, David Payne, Matt Henry, Mason Crane, Haris Rauf

Southern Brave form

They'll travel confidently to the northwest at the top of the table and led by their captain in stellar form following the 32-run win over Birmingham Phoenix. Captain James Vince, off the back of his mighty 90 not out from 47 balls in Birmingham, will look to carry the strong performance into Cardiff, where he struck six fours and six sixes. As experts have expressed so much admiration for the Southern Brave bowling attack, it was brilliant once more at Edgbaston with both Akeal Hosein and Chris Jordan collecting three wickets each against Phoenix. Though conditions may change in Cardiff, they will look to bring that momentum into the next game.
