Let's move over to the men's game now.

Sophie Luff: Hopefully, we can kick off from there. We had plans and we stuck to them while chasing. We worked on out fielding and it really paid off today. Matthews was fantastic in the way she batted. I think it takes one person to take you home and it was Hayley today.

Kate Cross: I guess we still haven't played our best cricket. It wasn't our best game. We have spoken as a team the value of the powerplay. Harman hasn't really fired for us today. Matthews was in great form and she didn't give many chances. I hope so four wins a row would be enough. We have got a lot of youngsters and they still need some experience. This feels like a development phase.

Hayley Matthews is the Player of the Match. "We had a pretty simple plan," she says. "They didn't get too many runs and we knew if we could a partnership going, we would get there. They had to change their field and line to adjust to left-right combo. I think Redmayne batted beautifully. I had a bit of cricket coming into the tournament. We had a series against Pakistan and I have been in good form since then. Bowlers made it easier and we thought we could carry that momentum forward.

1.25pm A complete performance from the Fire to register a thumping win. First, their bowlers restricted the Originals to 120 and then Matthews led the chase with an unbeaten 71 off 50 balls. She and Redmayne added 101 off 72 balls in an unbroken second-wicket stand to see the side home with 12 balls to spare.
