8.55pm: Originals walk off with stony expressions, they've lost for the third time in a row. Not the start to the season they were after, particularly with their regular captain, Jos Buttler, absent as well. They started badly with the bat, started badly with the ball - and didn't do a lot better either side, to be honest
Craig Overton is Match Hero: "Great win, we enjoy playing here. Bashing the top of the stumps, little bit two paced. Make them play as much as possible, make it hard for them. Home games are massive, then try to get a few on the road and you'll be there for the finals."
Okay, that's yer lot for one night. Just a regular double-header tomorrow, Superchargers vs Invincibles at T'Oval. Join us then. Bye!
"116 just not close to enough," muses DaWolf, here to the bitter end. "Comfortable chase."
Farooqi again, sun setting on Originals

Brave closing in now, 18 needed from 30. Paul Walter on to bowl
"You'd think this total should be fairly simple to chase, but again, they aren't making it look easy. Have the surfaces in this tournament been unusually bowler-friendly? If so, I'm not sure that's in keeping with the whole 'shop window' idea..." It's a bowler-friendly format, Pete. But yes, whatever the reasons, not been a vintage one (for the men) so far
