Prendergast's Four-Wicket Masterclass Lifts Fire Past Super Giants

Prendergast Four-For Skittles Super Giants for 85

Orla Prendergast took four wickets as Welsh Fire bowled Manchester Super Giants out for 85 in the Women's Hundred. Fire won by three wickets, moving to fourth in the table.

Prendergast struck early and often. She hit full lengths on a pitch offering assistance, forcing the Super Giants' top order into errors they could not repair. No Manchester batter reached 20. The rest of the Fire attack supported her without matching the incisiveness, keeping things tight at the other end and ensuring there was no recovery through the middle 50 balls.

The chase of 86 was uneven. Fire lost wickets at enough intervals to keep Manchester interested, with three breakthroughs giving the Super Giants' bowlers a foothold they barely deserved on the night. The Fire lower order closed it out, finishing on 86 for seven.

The win puts Fire fourth with a net run-rate tightening behind them. Manchester's 85 is a total that will require a response from their batting group in the next outing.
