19.5Schutt to H Matthews0
Dot ball. Megan Schutt to Hayley Matthews. Leg cutter length ball, outside off stump deep in crease Slog, missed for no runs, fielded by Jones. That's the end of the first innings, and Welsh Fire have posted a strong total on the board. Sophia Dunkley was the standout performer with the bat, anchoring the innings, while Jess Jonassen provided a crucial late flourish to boost the score. For Birmingham Phoenix, the bowling effort was steady but lacked bite in the middle overs, where runs flowed freely. Megan Schutt was the pick of the bowlers, claiming two wickets while keeping things relatively tight. Let's get ready for the chase.
