Welsh move to fourth - That is the latest update in the points table of the Hundred Women. They next take on the Trent Rockets on 29th July, while MI London Women, currently in 6th place after back-to-back defeats, meet Southern Brave on the 27th. That ends the action from the Women's games on Saturday but we are not done yet. The Men get ready to clash now, between the Welsh and MI, with the news coming in that MI London have won the toss there as well and elected to field in that game too! That clash is scheduled to start at 5 pm GMT but our buildup has already begun. Do hop into that match centre and catch all the buildup. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - GEORGIA WAREHAM - The Aussie gets the award for a stellar allround show of an unbeaten 43 (20) with the bat and figures of 2/23 with the ball. On being asked about the win, Wareham calls it an awesome team. Explains that the way Welsh started with the bat was great and then followed it with the ball. Hopes to take some momentum into the coming matches. On the message in the team meetings after their previous loss, Georgia says that the players decided to keep it simple. Stresses that they were aiming to use this ground as a fortress and adapt to the conditions. On the score of 177, GW says that it was a really nice wicket, with a fast outfield. Adds that batting with Sophie Devine was fun and the wind was a big factor. On the instructions to the bowlers at half time, Georgia Wareham says that it was about being aware of your lengths and checking the wind. Further says that Devine controlled the proceedings nicely and everyone who bowled did a really good job. On the success of spin at this venue, Wareham says that they just kept the stumps in play as much as possible. Ends by saying that is going to be their blueprint for the rest of the tournament.
Batting masterclass - Earlier, after being put in, Welsh Fire Women decided to take on the bull by the horns, making good use of a really nice pitch. Georgia Voll set the tone upfront while Sophie Devine and Georgia Wareham took the game away from the Team In Blue with a devastating stand of 79 in just 35 balls. London were very inconsistent with the ball with no bowler able to find control for long.
A game to forget - That's the best way to describe this for MI London Women. After being average with the ball, they were simply looking lost with the bat, finding no support whatsoever from anyone. Only Chinelle Henry managed to get past 25 but that was more of resurrecting the damage and ensuring that the defeat margin was not too huge. There was a brief bit of resistance shown during the 7th wicket stand of 46 between Henry and Alice Davidson-Richards but that just delayed the inevitable.
No room to breathe - That's how well the home side bowled. Having a massive cushion of 177 runs behind them, the bowlers did not feel any kind of pressure on them. They kept taking wickets at regular intervals and had MI London Women 6 down before the halfway mark, killing the contest way early. Everyone bowled well but in terms of the wickets, Grace Potts was the pick, doing the early damage, finishing off her 4 sets in the first 6, taking 3/24.
First win of 2026 - Practically, Welsh Fire Women should have had 4 points by now, but for the disappointment in Southampton. However, they have overcome that disappointment by producing a near-perfect all-round display, registering their BIGGEST WIN OF THE HUNDRED WOMEN! They also break their rut of 3 successive losses and register their FIRST WIN AT HOME SINCE 2024 - that's after 5 straight losses!
OUT! LBW! Wareham finishes with a 2-fer as well and WELSH FIRE WOMEN WIN BY 60 RUNS! Tossed up around the shorter length, around middle and off, Danielle Gregory went back to work it to the leg side but missed and got hit on the pads. There was an appeal for LBW and the umpire raised the finger. Gregory signalled for the review but Ball Tracking showed the ball to be clipping the bail on the off stump, meaning that the decision will stay. Excellent all-round effort by the home side.
OUT! LBW! But Gregory has challenged it, taking the review. Looks very close. Yes, a bail trimmer and that is the end of the contest!
On middle, Danielle Gregory works it straight to short mid-wicket who misfields and concedes a couple.
Last 2 sets remain. Can MI London Women play out the 20 sets? Georgia Wareham will bowl out. 1/21 in 15 balls so far.
Down the leg side, worked through mid-wicket for a single. 2/17 in 20 balls for Sophia Smale.
Around off, punched back to the bowler again.
On middle, pushed back to the bowler.
OUT! CAUGHT! Welsh Fire Women are wrapping up the tail quickly here. Slower ball, outside off, Alice Davidson-Richards looks to play the slog but only gets a massive top edge. Two fielders go for the catch - backward point and point and nearly collide - but in the end, Em Arlott takes it from point. Both smile, with a danger of collision averted. MI London Women are 114/9 now, with DANIELLE GREGORY walking out as the last batter.
Dropped short, around middle, Alexa Stonehouse pulls it towards long leg for a single.
Smale continues...

Sophia Smale is back on. 0/13 in 10 balls so far.
On middle and off, nudged through mid-wicket for a single.

FOUR! Off the outside edge. Short and wide outside off again, Monaghan throws her bat at it, reaching out and gets it off the outside edge over short third.
Short and wide outside off, Alice Monaghan slaps it straight to point.
MI London Women are running out of batters now. They need to at least play out their 100 balls. Alice Monaghan walks in next, at number 9, replacing Chinelle Henry.
OUT! CAUGHT! That might be the end of this chase. Slower ball, on a length, outside off, Chinelle Henry looks to go for the slog but is beaten by the lack of pace. Gets a massive top edge which goes straight up in the air and is gobbled by Heather Graham at cover. A bit of a fight shown by Henry as the 46-run stand is broken. 76 MORE NEEDED FROM 24 BALLS.
Sophie Devine is back on. 1/6 in 5 balls so far.
