PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Chris Green

That's it from us for tonight from here. Do join us for more Hundred action tomorrow. For now it's bye bye.

Chris Green | Match Hero: It was a lot of fun. Last two games here, amazing atmosphere. Support here in Cardiff has been fantastic and it's great to reward that support with a win tonight. Abell felt that 130 was defendable. There was a bit of hold for the off-cutters for seamers and a little bit of spin and hold for the spinners as well. Riley Meredith was outstanding upfront and he should probably be standing here, he broke the game open. The energy we had tonight, the support we had got us over the line. (On having Meredith) It puts that element of fear in the batter's mind when you have someone bowling in the high 80s. I am very glad he's on my team and I don't have to face him. Today is closer to a polished performance. The vibe among this group is great. Now we head to London for a big game.

21:18 Local Time, 20:18 GMT, 01:48 IST: How quickly the end came. When Buttler was there, the Originals were favorites but he holed out and then the wickets tumbled. Meredith and Chris Green the two men who were big stars for the Fire. Meredith bowled with fire all night and destroyed the top-order in his first 10 balls by taking three wickets. Green with two stunners in the field and then those two crucial wickets of Buttler and Gregory - both set batters in one set which turned the game totally. The Originals needed support for Buttler and Gregory and they couldn't do it. The Fire open their account after two losses. Stay tuned to find out who the Hero of the Match is....

97

Meredith to Sonny Baker, out Bowled!! Fittingly Meredith has the final wicket. A roaring yorker on middle-stump, Sonny Baker fails to dig it out and the stump takes a pounding. At the base of the stump too. The Fire win by 25. Sonny Baker b Meredith 1(3)

Meredith to Sonny Baker, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Meredith to Sonny Baker, no run, so close to off-stump. Pacy short of length delivery on off, Sonny Baker doesn't get in line, tries to drive and it flies over the outside-edge and not far from off-stump

26 off 5. Meredith to bowl.

93

David Payne to Noor Ahmad, out Caught by Chris Green!! Green is the man tonight. Another fantastic catch. This time running back from deep mid-wicket, goes with the reverse-cup and hangs on, tumbles to the ground and gets up with a big smile on his face. Noor Ahmad pulls and Green is in from the fence, has to backtrack and judged it so well. Over his head and with both hands. Noor Ahmad c Chris Green b David Payne 2(3)

David Payne to Noor Ahmad, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
