Welsh Fire were in trouble at 13/3 but Kohler-Cadmore (84 in 46 balls) and Kellaway mounted a superb fight-back. However, in the final overs, Southern Brave’s disciplined bowling sealed the result. Fire finished at 163/6, falling just short of the 168-run target. Below are the main reasons for the Welsh Firemen's defeat.
1. Late Surge from Southern Brave’s Top Order
Jason Roy’s counterattacking 70 off 39 balls turned the tide for Brave after early struggles. His aggressive hitting provided the backbone for their 167-run total. Without his knock, Brave could have folded under pressure.
2. Fire’s Lower-Order Fightback Fell Short
