Southern Brave secured the top spot in the table after a dramatic batting collapse at Edgbaston. Phoenix, well-placed at 92 for 1, lost 6 for 12 in 25 balls to slip to defeat. Both sides had two wins from three, but Brave's 169 for 2 score, the second-highest score of the season, proved more than enough. Phoenix captain Moeen Ali bowled after winning the toss, and Vince and Alex Davies led the visitors to a strong start with 31 runs off the Powerplay.
Vince and Kieron Pollard took the wickets, scoring 90 from 47 balls with six fours and six sixes. In reply, Ben Duckett had designs on winning the game on his own, racing to a 21-ball half century as Phoenix reached 92 for 1 from 49 balls. However, ignited by a tight Chris Jordan set, Brave took five wickets for five runs in 18 balls to effectively seal the match.
The stellar attack of Southern Brave, including Jordan, Craig Overton, Jofra Archer, Akeal Hosein, and Tymal Mills, proved too good. Duckett hit eight fours and five sixes, while the rest of the side hit only four fours. The pitch was nice up front, and the bowlers bowled well at the back end.
