Originals coast to victory over Fire
Welsh Fire were beaten finalists in 2024, but they are yet to get of the mark.
They were restricted to 73-9 from their 100 balls against Manchester Originals on Wednesday - a total which the visitors chased with 19 balls to spare.
Watch the highlights above.
Oval Invincibles: Lauren Winfield-Hill (captain and wicketkeeper), Meg Lanning, Alice Capsey, Marizanne Kapp, Paige Scholfield, Joanne Gardner, Phoebe Franklin, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Tash Farrant, Rachel Slater, Sophia Smale
Welsh Fire: Hayley Matthews, Sophia Dunkley, Tammy Beaumont (captain), Georgia Elwiss, Jess Jonassen, Sarah Bryce (wicketkeeper), Katie George, Georgia Davis, Freya Davies, Shabnim Ismail, Katie Levick
Invincibles skipper Lauren Winfield-Hill gave the coin a spin a little earlier and Tammy Beaumont, her opposite number at Welsh Fire, called incorrectly.
Winfield-Hill decides to make first use of the pitch at The Oval.
Image source, Getty ImagesWe are almost at the halfway point in The Hundred women's competition and it is fast approaching now-or-never territory for some teams.
Not least for the two sides who meet today - Oval Invincibles and Welsh Fire.
The Invincibles have a solitary victory from their first three games while Fire are winless. Not much for their captains - Lauren Winfield-Hill and Tammy Beaumont respectively - to smile about.
Something has got to give and will have all of the key moments from the The Oval. We look to your company.
