Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf might have left but their pace unit remains the best as Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson have joined them. The Kiwi duo picked two wickets each in the match. Also Jonny Bairstow and Glenn Phillips returned to form in the last match. Bairstow scored 40 off 38, while Phillips scored 21 unbeaten runs off 14 balls. Captain Tom Abell also scored 37 off 26. A lot of positives for Welsh Fire from the previous match and they should manage to beat lacklustre Northern Superchargers.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Welsh Fire

Welsh Fire will be the favourites to beat Northern Superchargers who have lost each of their last four matches. Superchargers have completely lost the plot and their last outing against Manchester Originals is proof. They first leaked 164 runs and then got bundled out for 83 in 76 balls. On the flip side, there are a lot of positives for Welsh Fire from the last match. Lockie Ferguson and Matt Henry rattled the opposition by picking two wickets apiece. David Willey and David Payne also picked two wickets each. Their pace attack is one of the best despite the departure of Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf. Return of Jonny Bairstow, Tom Abell and Glenn Phillips is also a major positive. Welsh Fire are likely to beat Northern Superchargers.
