Team news:
Welsh Fire: The Welsh Fire had a disappointing outing last season as they failed to win a single match out of the 8 they played. As a result, the team finished at the bottom of the points table.
They have made a few changes to the squad and will hope to perform better.
The team will be led by Tom Abell and has quite a few quality batsmen in their line-up. In addition to Abell, we are likely to see Glenn Phillips and Steven Eskinazi at the top of the order. Johnny Bairstow will be a key player lower down the order and will bat alongside all-rounders Roelof van der Merwe and David Willey.
Welsh Fire has strengthened its pace attack by bringing in Pakistan speedsters Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf, who will join Jake Ball and George Scrimshaw.
However, the team is lacking when it comes to spinners as Van der Merwe is the only quality option available. Also, some of the players aren’t likely to join until later in the season.
Welsh Fire Key Players
- Jonny Bairstow
- Joe Clarke
- Glenn Phillips
- Shaheen Afridi
- Haris Rauf
Probable XI: Jonny Bairstow(w), Joe Clarke, Stephen Eskinazi, Tom Abell(c), Glenn Phillips, Chris Cooke, David Willey, Roelof van der Merwe, Jake Ball, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf

Manchester Originals: The Manchester Originals put up an excellent effort last season. After finishing second on the points table, the team managed to make its way to the Finals but were unlucky to be beaten there by the Trent Rockets in a thrilling encounter.
Led by the indomitable Jos Buttler, the Manchester Originals have a well-balanced squad on their hand. There are plenty of dependable batsmen including the skipper Buttler, Phil Salt, Wayne Madsen, and Laurie Evans.
Salt had an excellent outing last season where he scored 353 runs. All-rounders Ashton Turner and Usama Mir will add depth to the batting.
The bowling unit has received a bit of a setback before the start of the season as Wanindu Hasaranga and Fred Klaassen have pulled out due to injuries but the team does have a couple of replacements in the form of Ben Raine and Zaman Khan.
The pace attack is quite strong thanks to bowlers like Josh Little, Josh Tongue, and Jamie Overton, while Tom Hartley will lead the spin attack.
Manchester Originals Key Players
- Jos Buttler
- Philip Salt
- Laurie Evans
- Ashton Turner
- Richard Gleeson
- Usama Mir
Probable XI: Jos Buttler(w/c), Philip Salt, Laurie Evans, Wayne Madsen, Ashton Turner, Paul Walter, Jamie Overton, Richard Gleeson, Usama Mir, Tom Hartley, Joshua Little

Welsh Fire
Welsh Fire vs Manchester Originals Match Prediction
Manchester Originals are not touted as tournament favorites for a reason. They have a squad that is strong enough to win the tournament and will go all out for it. On the other hand, Welsh Fire will want to display some fight unlike the last season, and with good acquisitions to the team, they will be hoping to do better.
We expect Welsh Fire to win this match.

Welsh Fire vs Manchester Originals Match Both Team Top Batsmen
The squad this year is very very exciting. With the batting being taken care of by hard hitters like Jhonny Bairstow and Glenn Phillips, Captain Tom Abell is a solid player too. Their middle order is being shouldered by Stephen Eskinazi and will provide them with much-needed stability.
The Manchester Originals were on fire last season, and it was predominantly because of their batsmen who were in scintillating form. Phil Salt and Jos Butler were exceptional last season, and more of the same will be expected from them this season too.
Welsh Fire vs Manchester Originals Match Both Team Top Team Bowlers
However, their bowling is their strongest suit, with the injection of a heavy Pakistani contingent, in Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf, the Welsh Fire will hope it will be enough support for David Willey. A lot will be expected of them and they will want to deliver as well.
The bowling department, however, will be a concern but with experienced bowling all-rounders in Ashton Agar and Jamie Overton, they are an extremely balanced squad. With Josh Little in their ranks, they will be dangerous as he is a natural wicket-taker.
