Welsh Fire won when they batted first at this location earlier in the season, and we expect them to bat first again regardless of who wins the toss.
The forecast is for highly humid conditions at Sophia Gardens throughout the match, with rain possible.
This pitch provides enough help for rapid bowlers. In Cardiff, we anticipate sustained bounce but movement off the surface.
