A stunning collapse from Northern Superchargers allowed
Welsh Fire to secure their first win of this year’s Hundred.
Chasing 124, Superchargers looked to be cruising to victory as Hollie
Armitage and Laura Wolvaardt put on 90 for the third wicket to leave them
needing just 22 to win from 17 balls.
But Fire took four wickets in 12 balls for the cost of just six runs to
leave Superchargers needing 15 from the final set.
Some fine death bowling from Annabel Sutherland then meant Superchargers could only limp to 112-6 as Fire
won by 11 runs.
Sutherland had earlier hit an unbeaten 31 from 22 balls to
help Fire reach 123-6, with Sarah Bryce top-scoring with 36 from 30
balls.
Welsh Fire stay bottom but are now level on points with seventh-placed
Manchester Originals. Northern Superchargers stay fifth but face an uphill
task to reach the eliminator after their third defeat from five games.
Here's what else happened:
Sarah Bryce hit Rachael Slater for three successive
fours.
Nicola Carey smashed a lively 19 from 13 balls, including three switch-hits in a row for four.
Wolvaardt scored 41 from 38 deliveries and Armitage 40 from
38 to lead the Superchargers recovery after being reduced to 12-2 from 13 balls.
Wolvaardt, who hit an unbeaten 90 in Sunday’s win against
Manchester Originals, is now top scorer in the women’s competition, with 236
runs from five innings.
What’s next?
Welsh Fire travel to Trent Rockets on Monday for their final
game of the competition (15:30 BST).
Northern Superchargers’ final group game is against Southern
Brave at Headingley on Wednesday (11:30).

Tammy Beaumont, Welsh Fire captain speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm incredibly relieved, for me, that was a proper team performance.
"Annabel and Sutherland were as cool as anything under pressure and that's what you want from your bowlers.
"We did well to get that big target and get a few early wickets and hold on in there.
"I'm really lucky that our three overseas players were exceptional and calm under pressure.
"I was actually very worried that people might not come out and it gets me so emotional. The crowd have always supported us and I just wanted to win it for them today."

Match hero Nicola Carey, who took 3-18, speaking to Sky Sports: "It's been a tough first few games for us, to come out here today, in our last home game, it's awesome. The girls are pumped.
"All the wickets over here are tricky to bat on. I thought our batters batted really well to get us up to that total and our bowlers defended well."
On her batting performance: "I like the switch-it so thanks for keeping cover up.
"We stuck with our plans and it worked for us in the end.
"It was really simple, the message was stay on the stumps and don't try to do too much. We forced them to hit over the top which is how [they got out] in the end.
"It's a funny game, it changes really quickly over 100 balls and luckily we're on the winning side."
Welsh Fire win
The Superchargers looked on course for victory chasing 124, particularly with Armitage and Wolvaardt at the crease. But a bundle of late wickets, four for just six runs, did the trick for the home team.
Carey was excellent with the ball at the death and is deservedly player of the match.

A very famous victory here in Cardiff!
Fifth time lucky it is here for the Welsh Fire. It's a shame they won't be able to qualify but now they at least have one victory on the board. You can see how much it means for them. The men's team are all cheering on the balcony. The pressure will now be on them.
WELSH FIRE WIN BY 11 RUNS
Superchargers 112-6
Sutherland closes out the match, a fantastic come back from the Fire, they finally win a match!
It looked highly unlikely for most of the run chase, but seemingly from nowhere the Fire turn things around.
