Welsh Fire win by eight wickets with almost half of the balls to spare

20:44 Local Time, 19:44 GMT, 01:14 IST: Thumping win for Welsh Fire.

The target of 87 was never going to be enough and when the early wickets did not come, it was a stroll for the Fire. The job was done earlier with the ball and Fire helped themselves to some batting practice. An off-day for the Originals and they would want to brush this game off as a bad one. Fire on the other hand will be thrilled that they have gotten off to such a fine start. Stay tuned for the post-match stuff...
