Birmingham Phoenix fell to the biggest defeat in terms of runs in the history of The Hundred women’s competition as they lost by 88 runs to London Spirit.
Opener Kira Chathli hit 69 from 35 balls, while the big-hitting Grace Harris made 34 from 15 as Spirit posted 164-6.
Phoenix offered no challenge in their chase, with only Emma Lamb (23) passing 10 as they were bowled out for 76 with 21 balls remaining.
Spirit captain Charlie Dean chose to bat after winning the toss, but her side lost Georgia Redmayne and Cordelia Griffith for nought and nine respectively, reaching 25-2 at the end of the powerplay.
Chathli steadied the ship, striking 13 fours, and put on a partnership of 47 from 21 with Harris.
She was caught behind ramping off Ellyse Perry, while Harris became Em Arlott’s third victim as she took 3-25, but Spirit finished on a strong 164-6.
Phoenix opener Georgia Voll was caught by Chathli off Issy Wong from the 10th ball of the innings and the home side lost regular wickets from that point, with six batters dismissed for single figures.
Megan Schutt and Hannah Baker were dismissed from successive balls to leave Phoenix 76-9, and with debutant Phoebe Brett absent with a thumb injury that completed a comprehensive Spirit victory.
The win takes defending champions Spirit from fourth to top, ahead of Southern Brave on net run-rate, while Phoenix remain seventh with one win from five games.
