Welsh Fire vs Southern Brave Match Prediction
The Welsh Fire fought for a well deserved victory against the Superchargers and we thought they looked a good side. With a good mix of players and some fantastic experience the Welsh Fire will take some beating. The Southern Brave will probably talk up their last result as an unlucky loss however we think they were poor. We think the Welsh Fire will take this victory.

If the Southern Brave are to get anything from this match they need to perform much better with both the bat and ball. Taking just one wicket is disappointing, all be it a very good Rockets side.
Maybe they are finding their feet with a new cricket format, perhaps were being a little harsh. Either way this will be another fantastic game of Hundred cricket.

Buoyed by their opening match victory, the Fire can call upon some fantastic players. Bairstow looks in fine form and with plenty others pitching in with a decent innings the Welsh Fire will be chomping at the bit to get their next match underway.
