Birmingham Phoenix vs Welsh Fire prediction
Welsh Fire started brilliantly in the men’s Hundred, but Trent Rockets brought them back down to earth with a nine-wicket victory in the week. Now we’ll see what the Fire have in response as they face a tough away trip to Birmingham Phoenix. Since winning their opening game at Edgbaston, the Phoenix have lost consecutive away games with their batting not impressing, scoring just 216 runs across two innings.
If Birmingham continue with that same trajectory, they are in big trouble when you take into account the batting firepower that Welsh Fire possess. Edgbaston is usually a good surface to hit at and that should help the likes of Phil Salt, Matt Short and Jordan Cox. Provided the bowling improves, Welsh Fire have a great chance of getting back on the winning track.
