Welsh Fire’s Struggles with the Bat
The chase began disastrously for Welsh Fire, with Sophia Dunkley and Hayley Matthews dismissed cheaply before the team could reach double figures. Matthews, who had earlier been the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2-18, could not replicate her impact with the bat.
The early damage left Welsh Fire under immense pressure, and although skipper Tammy Beaumont fought back with a well-made 36, she found little support. Georgia Elwiss tried to stabilize the innings, but the disciplined bowling from the Superchargers ensured the required run rate kept climbing.
Wareham’s Impact with the Ball
Wareham wasn’t done after her batting heroics—she made key breakthroughs with the ball, finishing with figures of 2-14. Her ability to pick up wickets in the middle overs ensured Welsh Fire could not rebuild after their shaky start.
The rest of the Superchargers attack maintained relentless pressure, sharing wickets and keeping the scoring rate under control. Welsh Fire eventually folded for 94, falling well short of the target.
