    There's also two changes for Trent Rockets.

    Left-arm spinner and power hitter Samit Patel replaces Sam Hain. Patel was a key part of the side last year but hasn't played this year.

    John Turner, who took 21 wickets for Hampshire in the T20 Blast to earn a wildcard selection, also comes in for his debut.

    Two changes for Welsh Fire as they look to bounce back from Saturday's heavy defeat to Southern Brave.

    Jake Ball comes in for his seasonal debut, replacing David Payne, while Luke Wells comes in for Ben Green.

    This game is also the last time we will see Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf in the 2023 competition. Both depart to join up with Pakistan after this match.

    Lewis Gregory calls incorrectly and Welsh Fire captain Tom Abell fancies having a bowl first.

    Interesting call. The pitch played beautifully in the women's game but this is the fourth match on it so it could get slower as the night progresses.
