Welsh Fire triumphed over Manchester Originals by eight wickets at Old Trafford. The Phil Salt-led side suffered a batting collapse with David Willey’s three-fer and Josh Little’s two-fer and restricted them to 86/8 whereas their batting was clinical as they chased the target in just 57 deliveries.
In their response, the Welsh Fire got off to a flying start with openers Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Jonny Bairstow quickly amassing 37 runs without loss after 20 deliveries. The Manchester Originals finally broke through when Scott Currie dismissed Kohler-Cadmore on the 21st delivery. With just 39 runs needed from 75 deliveries, the Fire's appeared to be in a commanding position. Paul Walter then removed Bairstow on the 28th delivery bringing captain Tom Abell to the crease. The Welsh skipper alongside Joe Clarkesteadily guided the Welsh side closer to victory needing just 21 more runs from 55 deliveries. The pair comfortably steered their team to an eight-wicket win, reaching the target with 43 balls to spare.

That comparison
Interesting to see that Irish bowlers getting zimbabweans out wasn't restricted to the test, as Josh Little bowled Raza in the Hundred

Still the best
Clear to me from that stumping that Jonny Bairstow is still the best wicket-keeper in the country #TheHundred
