James Vince: We were going to bowl first anyway. Just one change. James Coles comes in for Andre Fletcher. We've all been out there for a decent chunk of time. They're all high quality players. Someone's stepped up when we've needed. Polly (Pollard) did it last game. Don't think anyone else would've played like he did last game. He's a great weapon for our team. The bowlers have been fantastic. Bowling first and knowing what we're going to chase makes it easier.

Tom Abell: We're going to bat first. Used pitch. Day game so won't change too much. Would like first use with bat. You never want to look into the weather too much. The way our team is setup, it's best we bat first. Pretty good forecast. Jonny is back for Clarke. Unfortunately we can't qualify, desperate to go out on a high. Hopefully put up a performance and take a win.

A win for the Brave today will ensure their qualification to the next stage. Their opponents, the Fire are already eliminated and have just pride to play for. A big game coming up as we welcome you to match 30 at Southampton. One side who will be watching the game keenly today will be the Superchargers and they need Brave to slip up for their qualification hopes. Toss and teams are next, stay tuned…
