The Blaze, 159 for 6, beat Warwickshire 158 for 8, by four wickets. 

The Blaze maintained their perfect start to the Vitality Blast campaign with a solid four-wicket victory over struggling Warwickshire Bears at Edgbaston. 

It is three wins out of three for the East Midlands side after they bowled with discipline to restrict the Bears to 158 for eight. Openers Abi Freeborn (56, 45 balls) and Meg Austin (44, 31) added 95 but wickets fell freely thereafter against an attack led by former Bears seamer Grace Ballinger (three for 24) and Lucy Higham (two for 16).
