The match will take place at Sophia Gardens on 13th August, 7:00 PM IST.
Welsh Fire's Hayley Matthews
The teams so far
The Birmingham Phoenix have built up a great reputation for themselves in the tournament and rightly so. They have a strong domestic core, including Issy Wong, Eve Jones and Amy Jones alongside star international all-rounder Ellyse Perry, White Fern's captain Sophie Devine and Indian stars Shafali Verma and Deepti Sharma.
Welsh Fire are up for an exciting season with the addition of English opener Tammy Beaumont and bowler Alexa Hartley. Not to mention the explosive Caribbean Hayley Matthews. Although they will miss the services of Sarah Taylor, the batting lineup looks stable with Rachael Haynes in tow.

Pitch Report: The track at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff has always been known for being not so friendly with the batters. The top gives a lot of support to the bowlers with movement and extra bounce. The initial overs of the game are tough for the batters but it is ultimately a fair-scoring surface.
