Welsh Fire in the middle of the points table with evenly performance by them, winning and losing two-two games. They will have the services of Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi for the last time, before they leave for national duty. It will be a must win game for them.
Trent Rockets have just been an unluckier side, even after playing some good cricket, they have not got the result they would have liked to have. They are on the seventh place in the points table, and thye can climb up high on the table, if they win this one.
Sophia Gardens caters more to the bowlers. In the last game, the home team Welsh were bowled out for just 87, and in response Southern Brave team finished the chase in just 59 balls. It will be relatively tougher for the batters, but will be even more or less.
The average score batting here in T20s has been 158 and team batting first have won 31 times, whereas team batting second have won it 30 times.
Shaheen Afridi in T20
Shaheen will play his last game, before he leaves for national duty. He went wicketless in the last game, which not happens often. He will look to maximize his performance and get a win for his team.
Joe Clarke in T20
Went on a duck in the last one, Clarke will have to step up to get things going along with his new partner Jonny. He can play his role to carry the innings from the other and keep the runs flowing.
Joe Root in T20
Root was impressive with the bat in the last game, scoring 72* off 35 balls, but fall short to take the team through. He’s also bowling full sets and can be one of a huge factor to take him as a captain in your team, as he can grab a couple of wickets.
Daniel Sams in T20
Sams is playing very well at this moment. He is just being good with the ball and very explosive with the bat and could be a game-changer in the finishing stages.
Trent Rockets will win this game. They have a batter chances of pulling off this one in comparison to the Welsh Fire. Nevertheless, a riveting contest can be expected between both teams.
