Welsh Fire vs Southern Brave Chance of Winning
After dropping a couple of games, Welsh Fire are back in the winning ways, getting the better of Trent Rockets in Nottingham on Saturday. They certainly are not going to be an easy challenge for Southern Brave. Skipper Tom Abell and Jonny Bairstow were particularly impressive with the bat and if they can continue doing that, it can help them do well in the upcoming clash.
Meanwhile, they wouldn’t have it easy against Southern Brave, who are literally at the top of the pile. Barring the clash against Northern Superchargers, they have been very comprehensive in their approach, which is justified by their three wins. Hence, even though the upcoming match will be played at Cardiff, Southern Brave will not be too worried about it.
WEF’s chance of winning is 32%
SOB’s chance of winning is 68%
Welsh Fire vs Southern Brave Betting Tips
For the kind of form James Vince is in, there is no way we’re not betting big on him. A class player in his own right, Vince has great player going for him. Kieron Pollard continues to be a solid performer even at this age and hence, it is prudent that we have a stake resolved for him. From the Welsh Fire unit, Jonny Bairstow is back into scoring ways and betting on him will ensure that our base is covered pretty well.
