Welsh Fire won the toss and chose to field first. The batting lineup for the Southern Braves formed strong partnerships thanks to the efforts of Alex Davies, Leus du Plooy, and Kieron Pollard. Vince’s superb 73 not out featured seven boundaries and three sixes. A late cameo from Chris Jordan included a massive 98-meter six, but he was caught by David Willey off the final ball, bowled by David Payne.
