9.14pm So, that's the end of that. Two turkey-shoots out of two in the men's competition, but it's early days yet. Invincibles and Brave, at this stage, are setting the tempo. From Miller, Matt and Thilak, good night!
Craig Overton is the Meerkat Match Hero: "Bash the top of the stumps, no width, came off today. Knew the batters would come at me, had to be on it, and hit my lengths. This competition is only eight games, need to start well. Vincey is phenomenal, done it for years in the Blast, nice to see him back in form today."
9.10pm Handshakes all round, but that was a towelling from Southern Brave, they dominated early with the ball, and though Lawrence and Dawson held firm to post a target, Vince and Hughes in their own powerplay didn't hang around. Thereafter it was only a matter of time. Hughes is here for one game then off to watch the Olympics.
Dre Rus, back for the final set?

DaWolf: "Interesting choices for Braves once they get their internationals back. I can't see 3 places. Hughes (only short term contract, nothing against him as a player), maybe Coles (young, one for the future) . Finn Allen "
