Match Preview
In today’s match, it is the Welsh Fire up against the Northern Superchargers. Welsh Fire have not won a single game this season and that’s why they are at the bottom of the table. They lost the last game to London Spirit by 17 runs. Ben Duckett and Dwaine Pretorius will be the main players for Welsh Fire.
Superchargers on the other hand have a better record though. They have won two out of their six league games. They, however, lost their last match by 23 runs due to a poor show by the bowlers. Both the Adams are performing well for the side who are Lyth and Hose.
So, today we will witness a great tussle between these two sides to see who advances further and who bows out of the tournament.
