The Fire were in sixth position and won two out of eight games.
The Superchargers didn’t have a great outing in the tournament so far. Their fourth-place finish last season was their best performance since the inception of the league.

Faf du Plessis and Wayne Parnell have captained the side in the past. Ben Dwarshuis and Brydon Carse have been ruled out of the tournament. They have been replaced by Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim.
The Fire has not qualified for the playoffs once in four seasons so far. Tom Abell was appointed the captain of the side in 2023 and will lead the side once again.
