THE LOWDOWN

WELSH FIRE

Welsh Fire are looking for a strong response after being hammered by Southern Brave in Cardiff on Saturday, where their batting meekly subsided. Bowled out for just 87, only opener Stevie Eskinazi showed any sort of resistance with 38 runs coming off his bat as Jonny Bairstow fell for 0 in his first game back. Such a tiny score was never going to be enough for the hosts to defend, even with a bowling attack as dangerous as theirs, Southern Brave easing home with nine wickets and 41 balls to spare.

TRENT ROCKETS

Consecutive defeats see the Trent Rockets enter this contest under pressure, needing to get themselves back in the winners' enclosure quickly with them having slipped to the bottom of the table at the halfway point of their tournament. They are yet to taste victory since the opening night of the tournament and most recently were edged out by London Spirit in a cracking battle which saw Joe Root attempt to manufacture a memorable run chase. Ultimately though, the Rockets fell short by two runs.

THE PREDICTION

Welsh Fire are likely to hit back with serious heat as they look to make up for the disaster that was Saturday. Trent Rockets are out of form and confidence may be low following two successive games that went to wire, but ended with them on the wrong end of the result. Both Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf will want to end their spells at Welsh Fire on a winning note and it would be unwise to back against two world class bowlers to finish with a flourish. Back Welsh Fire to triumph and extend Trent Rockets’ losing run.

BETTING TIP: WELSH FIRE TO WIN
