That's all from our side from this game folks. We'll be back tomorrow with some more action. Ciao for now!
Craig Overton, Match Hero: It was a pretty good surface, just tried to make it difficult for their batters by bowling in the right areas. Those boys (Archer, Mills) have some decent pace, I just had to hit my lengths right. It's massive, this contest (Hundred.) You need to start well, hopefully we can carry this (momentum) forward. Vince is a phenomenal player, nice to see him back in form today.
21:10 Local Time, 20:10 GMT, 01:40 IST: A comfortable victory for Southern Brave as they chase down the target in 89 balls. Earlier in the day, London Spirit won the toss and elected to bat first, however, Craig Overton ran through the top-order by reducing them to 23/3 in no time. Dan Lawrence tried to anchor the innings while Liam Dawson played a pivotal knock to give London Spirit some respectability. In reply, Vince and Hughes came out with all guns blazing and attacked most of the London bowlers. The bowling team had no answers to the onslaught by the openers as they had an excellent partnership. Hughes missed out on his fifty, but skipper Vince notched up brisk fifty and although he was dismissed by Lawrence towards the end, Brave got over the line without any difficulty. A clinical performance indeed.
