Welsh Fire vs Southern Brave Predictions

The Southern Brave have lost their last three games of the season after starting with two wins on the bounce. They have won all four of their games against the Welsh Fire in The Hundred, so I am backing them to take the win.

Southern Brave’s Leus du Plooy has scored 25, 48* & 55 in his last 5 innings.
Southern Brave’s Hilton Cartwright top-scored with 42 off 30 balls against the Oval Invincibles.
Welsh Fire’s Jonny Bairstow hit three sixes in his 28-ball 50 against the Oval Invincibles.
Welsh Fire’s Tom Kohler-Cadmore has scored 26 & 31 in his last 2 innings.
