Welsh Fire have won the toss and have opted to bat
Moeen: Don't mind bowling first. Wasn't sure what to do. It's been doing a bit here (movement on offer). It was a really good performance, bowlers were outstanding. Same side.
Abell: Going to have a bat. Having a bat first is the best way for us we've figured. It's not been easy. Key is to adapt. Every ground is different, conditions are different. Tonight is a must-win for us. For us it's simple. Need to win both games. One change - Eskinazi comes in for Bairstow.
