Holders Southern Vipers claim their first Charlotte Edwards Cup win, as South East Stars also triumph.
Charlotte Edwards Cup holders Southern Vipers got this year's campaign up and running at the second attempt as they beat Sunrisers by 19 runs at Chelmsford.
But the Vipers attack, fuelled by two wickets for Mary Taylor, put the squeeze on to make up for their opening three-run defeat against The Blaze six days ago. South Africa-born all-rounder Paige Scholfield set a new T20 career-best with an unbeaten 73 from 39 balls as the hosts chased down a target of 140 with four overs to spare.
Stars then buckled to 24-3 in reply, but Scholfield shared stands of 67 with Alice Davidson-Richards and 48 with Aylish Cranstone as the hosts coasted home.
