Sunrisers Leeds move closer to Hundred qualification with win over Welsh Fire

Sunrisers Leeds moved closer to securing qualification for The Hundred's knockout stages with a comprehensive 71-run win over Welsh Fire at Headingley. Mitch Marsh, the tournament's leading run-scorer, struck his fourth half-century of the season as Sunrisers made 201 for 4.

The Australian opener hit a 34-ball 50 and added 89 for the first wicket with Ryan Rickelton. Brydon Carse claimed 3 for 24 as Fire were restricted to 130 for 6 in reply, with only Matt Short making 43.

Sunrisers now only need to avoid defeat against Manchester Super Giants on Tuesday to progress. Fire remain the lowest placed of three teams on 16 points and will likely need success against London Spirit on Wednesday to boost their net run-rate.
