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.

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.
