Dream11 Prediction: Both teams lost their first game, which is why it will be important for them to get a win here. London Spirit need to work on their batting, as they are coming off a poor batting display. The bowlers did a decent job for them, but an 80-run all-out is very poor for a team full of superstars.
Welsh Fire still had some good moments in the lost game. But they need contributions from their middle order. Both teams have several flaws, and it is all about making fewer mistakes on the day. But Welsh Fire still had better performance, and they will be favorites for this contest.
