TableAn impressive Welsh Fire earned their first win of the women's Hundred with a 60-run thrashing of MI London in Cardiff.
Fire suffered a poor defeat by Southern Brave in their opener but bounced back to post 177-4, comfortably the highest total in the tournament so far this year and the third-highest in its history.
After openers Ella McCaughan and Georgia Voll added 49, captain Sophie Devine and all-rounder Georgia Wareham added 79 from just 35 balls for the fourth wicket as MI London's bowlers wilted.
To conclude the entertaining innings, Em Arlott came out with one ball to face and launched it for six, as Fire's performance provided much-needed entertainment for the women's tournament where the previous highest team total so far was just 126.
