Northern Superchargers vs Welsh Fire prediction

Ben Stokes will not feature for Northern Superchargers, who boasts Dan Lawrence as a new addition to their line-up. He’s coming off the back of a fantastic T20 Blast campaign for Surrey. Dawid Malan is key to the hosts, just like David Miller who should prove an excellent finisher. They’ve also drafted in two overseas players from Pakistan in Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim (temporarily.

Welsh Fire’s team you could argue is more exciting. Jonny Bairstow, Steve Smith and Tom Kohler-Cadmore along with Tom Abell makes for a fearsome top order. But the worry for Welsh Fire is their lack of depth down the order. But with Riley Meredith, David Payne and Chris Green leading the bowling attack, back Welsh Fire to overcome the Superchargers.
