7.50pm Spirit had one of the weakest batting line-ups last year but this evening they have posted their highest-ever total in the competition. Narine was superb for Invincibles but Morgan's 47 off 29 balls lifted Spirit. They were also helped by the plethora of extras. Twenty-two runs came off the last ten balls as Spirit finished with a formidable 171. Ekanth will take over for the chase, stay tuned.
