Southern Brave vs Welsh Fire prediction

Nothing major is at stake between these two sides, although Welsh Fire would no doubt like to avoid finishing the group stage bottom of the table, which they would with victory at the Utilita Bowl. Southern Brave are looking to end the competition with a win at home but form is not in their favour, having lost four of their last five matches, beating only the Fire by four runs in Cardiff.

Important players like James Vince for example have been out of form for too long, which has been key to Southern Brave’s undoing. Motivation is likely low among their squad at this point with many of them perhaps focused on their next cricketing assignment. Therefore, back Welsh Fire to gain the win required to lift them off the foot of the table and avoid the dreaded ‘wooden spoon’.
