Southern Brave vs Welsh Fire Predictions


Both sides have struggled in this year’s competition, but I’m backing the Brave to beat the Fire, as they have won their last four completed matches against them.

  • Southern Brave’s Laurie Evans has scored 53 & 37 in his last 4 innings.
  • Southern Brave’s James Coles has scored 48*, 25* & 18 in his last 5 innings.
  • Welsh Fire’s Stephen Eskinazi hit 7 boundaries in his 42-ball 53 against the Trent Rockets.
  • Welsh Fire’s Jonny Bairstow has scored 50, 22 & 35 in his last 5 innings.

Head-to-Head


Southern Brave have won four of their last five matches against the Welsh Fire. The other match was rained-off.

Southern Brave Form


The Brave suffered their fourth defeat in five matches when they lost to the London Spirit by 47 runs. 

The Spirit posted an impressive 186/4 off their 100 balls. Michael Bracewell (2/26) was the pick of the Brave’s bowlers. 

The Brave were rolled for 139 off 92 balls, with Jason Roy and Laurie Evans sharing top score (37 off 23 and 21 balls respectively).

Southern Brave Team News


The Southern Brave need a big performance from their batters, and might bring in some fresh faces for this consolation match. 

Welsh Fire Form


After beating the Phoenix by eight wickets, the Fire slumped to their third defeat in four matches when they lost to the Trent Rockets by three wickets.   

Stephen Eskinazi (53 off 42) and Tom Abell (48 off 29) added 97 for the third wicket against the Rockets, but the Fire could only reach 150/6 off their 20 overs.

After a good start the Rockets were pegged back by excellent bowling from David Payne (2/38) and Chris Green (2/34), but they couldn’t prevent the Rockets from claiming a three-wicket win off 99 balls. 

Welsh Fire Team News


There are no injury reports from the Fire camp.

Verdict

I am backing Southern Brave to win. I am also backing Laurie Evans to top score for Southern Brave.

Stephen Eskinazi is a good bet to top score for the Welsh Fire.
