Welsh Fire got their 2024 season in The Hundred women's competition off to a winning start, beating Manchester Originals by seven wickets at Old Trafford.
England's Sophia Dunkley inspired Welsh Fire to a seven-wicket victory over Manchester Originals in their opening match of The Hundred women's competition at Old Trafford.
Captain Sophie Ecclestone added some late inspiration, ending on 27 not out to help Originals post a score of 113-7. Scotland captain Kathryn Bryce only managed to score six runs for the Originals. She was caught behind by Fire wicketkeeper Sarah Bryce, her sister. While Filer did not take a wicket, her 20 balls conceded just 15 runs. Of her 20 balls, 15 were dots.
"We do look really strong as a unit but I guess we just didn't execute today and I feel like we'll back our bowlers again next game. We'll go again on Monday.": "That shows how mature Sophia Dunkley has got in the last year or so in seeing us home when she lost the strike for a long period of time. She showed her class there at the end.
