Lanning unable to extinguish Welsh Fire's sizzling run

Former Spirit right-armer Freya Davies claimed two for 19, including the key wickets of Lanning and Heather Knight, as the home side's total was built on the back of powerful late hitting from Danni Gibson and Deepti Sharma.

The hosts had selected former Australian captain Lanning with pick three in March's draft and it again looked an astute piece of business as she clubbed 31 from 20 balls before being bowled by Davies.

Matthews was the difference though as she struck 11 fours and two maximums in a match-defining innings after she had been dropped on the rope when on 36.
