The last group stage match will be held in Cardiff between Welsh Fire and London Spirit who are currently the bottom teams in the Men’s Hundred Competition. Poor performance by the London Spirit team has pulled them down to the last place in the table. With only one game being won and a point received due to abandonment.
After winning their first 2 games Welsh Fire lost the remaining 5 matches. Welsh Fire have struggled to perform after Jonny Bairstow moved to the England Test Squad. Both team’s will fight to protect themselves from appearing last in the standings.
