Liam Dawson is the Hero of the Match. Dawson says that this was a very big game for them having lost the first two games and is happy to get over the line. Adds that they started nicely with the ball and it was a good wicket to bowl on and it got a bit right towards the end but they got over the line. Mentions that the wicket was a bit quicker and he looked to hit the wicket. Reckons that it was one of those scores where you get off to a flier, you get an easy win but it wasn't an easy wicket to bat on.
Earlier in the game, Welsh Fire were put into bat by Dan Lawrence and dragged themselves to a paltry score of just 94 runs in their innings. Luke Wells was the top scorer with 23 while a couple of other batters got starts but failed to carry on. Liam Dawson and Nathan Ellis were the pick of the bowlers with three wickets each for the Daniel Lawrence-led side. London Spirit have finally got a win on board after two losses and bagged two points from this encounter.
Welsh Fire bowlers did not have a huge score to defend but they came out all guns blazing and kept picking wickets at regular intervals. Haris Rauf and Matt Henry were the stand-out bowlers with three wickets each while Mason Crane got the solitary wicket of Liam Dawson. David Willey also bowled a tidy spell upfront. Welsh Fire took the game deep and if they had 20-30 more runs in the bag, then the result would have been different for them. Welsh Fire have now lost two games in a row and will be hoping for a comeback in their next game againt the Trent Rockets.
London Spirit have beaten Welsh Fire in a low-scoring encounter at Lord’s by 3 wickets and have got their first win of the season. Chasing a smallish score of 95 for the win, London Spirit were in tatters at 38 for 4 but Dan Lawrence and Shimron Hetmyer batted sensibly and added 46 for the fifth wicket and steadied the innings. Lawrence made a calculated 29 while Hetmyer remained unbeaten on 30 off 21. Most of the batters from both teams found it hard but Hetmyer showed his experience and took his team home in this contest.

Mason Crane to Liam Dawson ,OUT! CAUGHT! Would you believe it? London Spirit lose another wicket and Welsh Fire now need three more wickets with 5 runs to play with. Mason Crane tosses the ball up on a fullish length and pushes it wide of the off stump. Liam Dawson gets down on one knee to sweep but gets a top edge that loops up around short fine leg where Matt Henry takes a simple catch.

Mason Crane to Shimron Hetmyer ,Ooh... Shimron Hetmyer would have his heart in his mouth! Nicely tossed up around leg stump, Hetmyer skips down the track to slog it away but gets beaten in the flight. The ball though turns back in and Jonny Bairstow is hardly able to lay a glove on it. The ball trickles to short fine leg and they get a bye.

Haris Rauf to Andre Russell ,OUT! BOWLED'EM! 'You miss, I hit,' says Haris Rauf and Dre Russ has to walk back first ball. Hard length again from Rauf, pitches it up a wee bit around off and gets it to angle back in sharply. Andre Russell backs away to swing across the line but is beaten for pace and the ball smashes into the stumps. Rauf is pumped up and maybe, just maybe, Welsh Fire are still in the game.
Andre Russell walks out to bat now.

Haris Rauf to Dan Lawrence ,OUT! CAUGHT! Haris Rauf returns to the attack and picks up a wicket right away but it might just be a consolation one at this stage. Rauf hits the deck hard and bowls it a bit shorter over the off stump. Dan Lawrence backs away to take it on and looks to smash it across the line but gets a top edge that goes high up over wide mid on. Glenn Phillips back-pedals and takes a fine tumbling catch as he goes down slope and Lawrence has to walk back.
Strategic break! Well, what seemed like a brewing classic, has now turned out to be a fairly straightforward win for London Spirit but it isn't over yet. Welsh Fire bowled brilliantly with the ball in the first half of the chase but given how low they scored, the opposition was always one good partnership away from breaking the back of the chase. Dan Lawrence and Shimron Hetmyer have managed to achieve just that and now the Spirit require 11 runs off 25 balls.

David Payne to Shimron Hetmyer ,SIX! Muscled over the ropes and the new willow seems to be working out for Shimron Hetmyer. Hard length around off stump and angling in, Hetmyer hangs deep in the crease and pummels it across over cow corner for another biggie.

David Payne to Shimron Hetmyer ,In the air...but dropped! Joe Clarke usually has a safe pair of hands but has made a mess of that chance. This is pitched up outside off stump, Shimron Hetmyer hangs back and swings wildly across the line, only to slice it up and towards deep third. Clarke comes in and simply spills it. A single is taken.

David Payne to Shimron Hetmyer ,FOUR! Bludgeoned down the ground and London Spirit really upping the ante now. Pitched up in the slot at the stumps, Shimron Hetmyer backs away and swings through the line, getting it over mid on for a boundary. Hetmyer isn't happy with it though and changes his bat.
