The pair fired their team to 141-4, with Hayley Matthews taking 2-18 for Fire.
Wareham then starred in the field as she was involved in the run outs of Sophia Dunkley and Georgia Elwiss before dismissing Jess Jonassen and Katie George in her 20 balls.
Tammy Beaumont top scored with 36 but wickets fell regularly at the other end as Fire were bowled out for 94.

Sophia Dunkley was dismissed for one after she tried to go for a quick single, but her batting partner Hayley Matthews wasn’t on the same wavelength.
How do matches work?
- One hundred balls a side, the team with the most runs wins. It is as simple as that.
- Five bowlers can bowl up to 20 balls in an innings, including five or 10 in a row.
- The traditional six-ball overs seen in other forms of cricket are not used in The Hundred, with 10 balls bowled before a change of ends.
- The powerplay is for the first 25 balls of an innings, with only two fielders allowed outside the 30-yard circle.
- A 25-ball-a-side game is the minimum length that can be played in the event of wet weather.
- If a match in the knockout stages is tied, a Super 5 will be played, with the winner being the team scoring the most runs from a further five balls each.
