And Brave win it with a wide! What an absurdly daft finish to a deeply spurious match!

Full commentary
Tymal Mills is the match hero: "A big win, a couple in a row now. We assessed conditions really well, quite dry, Colin came straight in and was match-ready. As a bowling team we were really proud."
So that's a wrap. Thanks for your company, see you tomorrow for more fun and frolics!
9.02pm Well, that was a match... Brave seal it with ease, but a lot less ease than it seemed about five minutes ago. George Garton's long levers proved sufficient in hunting down a sub-par 120... which in turn was set up by a fine bowling display, led by Rehan Ahmed and Tymal Mills with three wickets apiece.
An important win for Brave in an extraordinarily tight table. A hint of space in second place now, as they target a play-off place. Phoenix are still at the bottom, but far from cut adrift.
Dezz: "Couldn't be more in contrast to last night's match!!"

Mousley to du Plooy, OUT
