Welsh Fire vs Southern Brave Betting Odds

Welsh Fire to have a better opening partnership than Southern Brave

Welsh Fire and Southern Brave head into this game after both sides have struggled to make an impact this season. Southern Brave got off to a promising start this season as they won back to back matches but since then they have faltered and lost three games on the bounce and would be hoping to turn things around in the upcoming game. On the other hand, Welsh Fire has found it tough this season as they have three defeats in four matches and need big improvement in the second half of the season to make the playoffs this season. Southern Brave openers have struggled this season and they have conceded a bigger opening partnership in two of the last three matches which makes us believe Welsh Fire will have a better opening stand in the upcoming game.
