    Stubbs has gone for 13 runs. Pretorius did really well picking up his second wicket and now Manchester Originals are in all sorts of trouble.

    When they started you thought they could get to 180

    Simon Cookson: This has been The Originals' problem all season. Decent start but can’t seem to maintain momentum.

    What Welsh Fire have done well is they have picked up wickets in the right time and that is where Manchester Originals struggled as they didn't preserve their wickets.

    Very good comeback from Welsh Fire.
