That's all from us today. Thanks for tuning in, and make sure to hop over to the men's match to follow our live ball-by-ball commentary with both sides chasing their first wins.
Dottin is the Match Hero: "The main thing was to get myself in. We thought we had enough. I love a challenge. I think it's very important for us, having that winning feeling again."
5.40pm: It looked for all money like Welsh Fire would get their season up and running when Matthews and Beaumont were together, but after Ecclestone knocked Matthews' off stump back, Fire couldn't find the middle of the bat. Beaumont struggled badly towards the back end, and finished with a strike rate of just 107 in an attempted chase of 157, and Originals bowled very well at the death. It was Dottin's innings that set things up for them, and a brilliant partnership with Ecclestone at the back end took them to their highest total across both seasons.
Hypocaust: "No boundaries conceded in the last 16 balls by Originals as they closed out the game."
Sundar: "WF has lost just three wickets and yet, they have fallen way short of the target. Poor, this!!!"
And a twist... Cross didn't keep her foot behind the line. Free hit.
And now Cross just needs to keep her foot behind the line.
Three balls remaining. Beaumont needs to hit three sixes.
Captain Cross to close the game out for Manchester. 19 needed off 5 balls.
