Glamorgan eased to their fourth win of the season over Sussex with a comfortable 30-run victory in Newport in the the T20 Blast Women League 2.
Daisy Mullan, making her debut on loan from Hampshire, anchored the Glamorgan innings of 145-5 with 63 not out, adding 70 for the third wicket with Bethan Gammon.
Sussex started well with a stand of 63 between Rachel King (35) and Izzy Collis, but lost wickets frequently through the second half of their innings to finish on 115-8.
Sara Phillips (2-21) and Nicole Reid (3-12) did most of the damage.
Glamorgan have three wins from four in the Blast Tier Two southern division, while Sussex have two from five.
Mullan came in to face the third ball of the home innings and batted through, facing 65 balls and hitting six fours.
Gammon gave the innings momentum with 32 off 20 balls, while Poppy Tulloch added a late flourish with 18 not out off 12.
Eve O'Neill, with 2-27 off her quota of four, prevented Glamorgan from accelerating further.
Sussex got off to a positive start in the sunshine, with King and Collis rattling up 50 without loss in the powerplay.
But once King played on to Poppy Walker, Sussex fell away with a direct hit run-out from Lauren Parfitt to get rid of Collis (23) and two wickets in an over from Phillips.
Reid then ran through the middle order as Sussex could not find any momentum, with number 10 Anna Buckle the only other batter to reach double figures.
As well as the double in the Blast, Glamorgan have also beaten Sussex in the T20 Cup and One Day Cup.
