In the meantime, Oval Invincibles have won the toss and will bowl against London Spirit. Here's Matt Roller's coverage of the London Derby. Hop over there to catch the action, and thank you for coming out here. See ya!

Luke Wells is the POTM for his 57. He says that him opening was a last-minute decision to create a right-left opening combination. Says that he enjoyed a shortened game where they was time to not think and only react. Says he's trying to adapt after playing different rolls. Adds that the atmosphere among the Welsh Fire has been relaxed.

Stat from Sampath: Welsh Fire's first win since 2021, and only their second win in the last 15 matches. They lost all the eight played in the previous edition

6:20pm: Winning start for Welsh Fire. They will be delighted with the win and the explosive burst from the Shah. They bowled just four bowlers and each of the bowlers used their skill and experience brilliantly. Shaheen was taken on by Holden at the back end of his double-set but the first two balls nailing out the batters were crucial. Rauf, Willey and Payne were brilliant in reacting to the batters trying to aim for the boundaries in the midwicket/cover pockets. Buttler and Holden did manage to connect with some impeccable shots. But with a high ask in a shortened game, it was too much.

Avinash: "Extras made all the difference :)"
