What a performance from Welsh Fire. They will definitely be the happier of the two sides.
Brave will be really disheartened with that but we know they've got a lot of batting. They differ from Fire in that, they have more explosive batters.
Cut down to the point boundary, is the ball going to make the ropes? No - Maitlan Brown has cut it off and Fire run three.
A four would have equalled the record score in the Women's Hundred, but that's still a fantastic score from Welsh Fire.
Punched from Elwiss down the ground again, past the diving Mandhana for four more.
Another four down the ground from Georgia Elwiss, advancing down the pitch.
Bryce crouches and tries to cut hard but can only take another single.
Elwiss takes a single to mid-wicket from Shrubsole's first delivery.
Bryce tries to hit one over mid-on but can only find Maia Bouchier - just a single from Georgia Adams's final ball.
Down the ground from Elwiss - one bounce and landing flat on the boundary for four!
Two sets without boundaries as Chloe Tryon sees four singles go off her first four balls.
This is still a formidable score, but Brave have done well to stem Fire in the back half of the innings.
Did Bryce hit that?
Kalea Moore's ball rears ups and Soulsby fumbles behind the stumps. Replays suggest she did get some bat on it.
No boundaries from the bowling of Moore in this innings. She finishes on figures of 0-13 - she didn't even bowl in their first match.
Georgia Elwiss is likely to play an accumulation role for Fire with other players going harder around her.
Elwiss strikes at 97 per 100 balls in T20s, and that is 94 against pace and almost 99 against spin.
She averages the highest against right-arm pace so she might go harder at Anya Shrubsole, Mary Taylor and Maitlin Brown.
Full toss from Georgia Adams and Bryce needs no excuse to whip her to the square leg boundary.
Hayley Matthews has gone, but why not enjoy her bringing up her fifty with this clever shot?
Sarah Bryce punches Mary Taylor to mid-wicket. It should be cut off by a diving Maia Bouchier, but the ball breaks through her and hits the sponge over the boundary rope.
Bouchier is clutching her elbow - hopefully she's OK.
Laura Harris only lasted seven balls but she hit four boundaries in that time.
These two sixes were massive and gave us an indication of her power.
Kalea Moore's good form continues as new batters Elwiss and Bryce can only get the three singles from her third set.
Georgia Elwiss enters the fray for Fire, Tryon holds her and Sarah Bryce to two singles.
Fire have had a formidable start, but Brave will at least like they have two new batters at the crease.

The momentum is starting to change.
Hayley Matthews will be disappointed. She'll have wanted to stay in for another 10-15 balls to help her team-mate get settled at the crease.
Credit to Brave, they are fighting back.
Matthews c & b Tyron 65 (Fire 117-3)
No hundred for Matthews!
She drops a simple catch back into the hands of Chloe Tryon for a simple caught and bowled.
We did say she was vulnerable to spin - it just took a while...
