England international Alice Capsey followed up her opening-day 52 against Birmingham Phoenix with a well-made 59 as Oval Invincibles defeated Welsh Fire by six wickets at Cardiff. Capsey hit seven boundaries in her 48-ball knock before she was brilliantly caught at long-on by Hayley Matthews off Freya Davies with 27 runs still required. All-rounders Marizanne Kapp and Mady Villiers then took the reins to extinguish any Welsh Fire hopes, guiding the Invincibles home with 12 balls to spare.
After 25 balls, Welsh Fire had laboured to 17-1 and they soon found themselves 20-2 when Amanda-Jade Wellington struck first ball to remove the dangerous Matthews , caught brilliantly by Kapp running in from the cover boundary. Sophia Dunkley made 35 from 26 balls before launching Wellington to Ryana MacDonald-Gay at long-on and Jonassen, who took over Dunkley's role as aggressor, played enterprisingly for 32 not out from 22 balls as Welsh Fire closed their innings on a below par 116-5.
