Welsh Fire was good with the ball after the powerplay. Zampa was the pick of the bowler with 2-17 in 20 balls and was well supported by Pretorius with 2-30 and J Ball with 4-29 in their respective 20 balls to keep the Originals to 149.
Chasing 150, Welsh Fire got off to a poor start losing Clarke, Banton, and Hain early. Duckett played some good shots but was dismissed for 25. D Pretorius played a handy cameo of 29 in the end but did not get the support from other batters as the Welsh crumbled for 102 in 89 balls.
The Originals' bowling was brilliant from the beginning. Stanley set the tone with a wicket. Hartley, Parkinson, and Russell got one a piece. Stubbs bowled nicely to get 2 wickets in the middle. The Star of the show was Sean Abbott who got 4 for 8 in 15 balls and bowled out the Welsh Fire for 102. A complete performance by the Manchester Originals.

Sean Abbott (man of the match): "It's obviously not the start we were looking for but we came out and executed today. Mitch Stanley really set the tone with the ball. We would have liked more runs on the board but we knew tonight that the pitch was going to take a bit of spin and some pace-off, so we knew it would be tough to bat on this pitch. The conversations we've had in the changing rooms have been great but personally, I've not gone out. Pretty good performance from everyone tonight. Happy to get the first points on the board."
