Birmingham Phoenix keep their slim qualification hopes alive with a nine-run win over Welsh Fire at Sophia Gardens.
Welsh Fire missed a chance to seal their place in the play-offs of The Hundred women's competition, as Birmingham Phoenix edged a tense contest at Sophia Gardens.
Earlier, Phoenix's 121-7 was set up by Sterre Kalis' 55 while Matthews' 3-32 and Freya Davies' 2-17 led a disciplined Fire bowling performance.

They need to win their remaining two games comfortably to improve their net run-rate and hope other results go their way.Sterre Kalis started her innings with one run from 10 balls before finishing with a crucial 55 from 44
