WEF vs MAO Betting Tips
Phil Salt to score Over 20.5 runs
Salt is second on the list of top run-getters of the season and has scored at least 21 runs in each of his 3 innings. We are therefore backing him to play a good knock here.
Noor Ahmad to pick up Under 1.5 wickets
Noor Ahmad hasn’t been in the best of form in recent matches. He has managed to pick up only one wicket each in the last two games. As the pitch in Cardiff doesn’t provide much assistance to the slower bowlers, his woes are likely to continue.

WF vs MO Team Previews
Welsh Fire
With two losses in as many matches, the Welsh Fire are struggling at the moment. They are currently trailing the top three by 8 points and need to get a win soon if they want to stay alive in the competition.
Barring Johnny Bairstow, the batting from the Welsh Fire has been pretty ordinary, to say the least.
His opening partner, Steve Smith, is struggling at the moment and needs to get some runs under his belt to give Welsh a strong start. The middle order has a couple of explosive batsmen in the form of Luke Wells and Tom Kohler-Cadmore, while the all-rounders Tom Abell, Saif Zaib, and Chris Green add depth to the batting.
The form of the bowlers has been pretty ordinary as well. David Payne, Riley Meredith, and Josh Hull have managed to pick up only 6 wickets between them in 2 games and have been pretty expensive as well. Chris Green, who is the only spinner, has remained wicketless.
Welsh Fire Expected Playing 11
Steve Smith, Johnny Bairstow (WK), Luke Wells, Tom Abell (C), Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Saif Zaib, Paul Walter, Chris Green, David Payne, Josh Hull, Riley Meredith

Manchester Originals
After facing consecutive losses at the start of the season, the Manchester Originals managed to score their first points of the season by defeating the London Spirit on Monday. Nevertheless, they are placed 6th on the points table due to poor NRR.
Ben McKinney, who was playing his first match of the season on Monday, appeared to be in fine form as he scored 29 from just 12 deliveries. He is likely to reprise his role at the top of the order alongside Phil Salt. The latter is the second-highest run-scorer of the season. The middle order looks pretty strong as well, thanks to the presence of Jos Buttler and Heinrich Klaasen.
They will be joined by all-rounders Mark Chapman, Lewis Gregory, and Scott Currie, who add depth to the batting. Currie has bowled well to pick up 5 wickets and is the leading wicket-taker for his team. He will be joined by Josh Tongue and Sonny Baker in the seam department. Noor Ahmad and Farhan Ahmed are the two specialist spinners.
Manchester Originals Expected Playing 11
Phil Salt (WK), Ben McKinney, Jos Buttler (C), Heinrich Klaasen, Mark Chapman, Lewis Gregory, Scott Currie, Noor Ahmad, Josh Tongue, Sonny Baker, Farhan Ahmed
WF vs MO Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch at Sophia Gardens is usually good to bat on. The surface is flat and hard, offering good pace and bounce. A score of around 130-40 is a par score on this surface. That said, the seamers can expect some help from the green patches, particularly when the ball is new. The spinners are likely to struggle here.
The weather is likely to remain pleasant with temperatures around 25 degrees, and there is no forecast for rain.
WF vs MO: Who Will Win?
We are backing Manchester Originals to win this match. While both teams are yet to play to their full potential, Manchester has played slightly better compared to their opponents. Also, Manchester has a stronger batting unit compared to that of Welsh Fire.
Bet on Manchester Originals to win.
