London Spirit vs Welsh Fire Preview

Neither side is in good form, but despite Spirit's two recent defeats, they have a strong side and should prove too good for the Welsh Fire.

London Spirit Form

The Spirit have lost their opening two matches by a combined 10 wickets, the second loss coming against the Phoenix with just one ball to spare.

The Spirit’s top-order fell flat and they were in tatters at 64/6 off 61 balls before Liam Dawson (36) and Andrew Russell (37) gave the innings a boost to reach 127/7 off their 100 balls.

Daniel Worrall (2/15) and Olly Stone (2/14) reduced the Phoenix to 20/4, but the lower-middle-order saw them home with three wickets and one ball to spare.

London Spirit Team News

The Spirit need their batters and bowlers to step up to their full potential in order to get onto a winning run.

Welsh Fire Form

The Fire started the season with an eight-wicket win over the Originals, before losing their second match to the Invincibles by 10 runs.

Jake Ball picked up two top-order wickets to finish with figures of 3/24 after the Invincibles stuttered their way to 113/9 off their 100 balls.

Opener Tom Kohler-Cadmore (22) and David Payne (28) were the only Fire batters to pass 16 as they were restricted to 103/8 off their 100 balls.

Verdict

London Spirit v Welsh Fire - The Hundred

I am backing London Spirit to win. I am also backing Michael Pepper to top score for London Spirit.

Tom Abell is a good bet to top score for the Welsh Fire.
