After their listless campaign last year, Welsh Fire will be hoping for a fresh start this season, considering they spent the entire tournament without a win. They are currently on an eight-match losing streak and find themselves behind Manchester Originals in head-to-head record.

They even registered six wins in a row at one stage before they were humbled by Trent Rockets in the final.
