9.15pm: A cool hand in the chase there, Dawid Malan ending up on 88 from 49 - the second-highest individual score in the men's Hundred, and knocking Will Jacks off the top for this season. Rockets probably would have been happy chasing 153 from the start, perhaps less so after Superchargers were 68 for 6, but they got there without too much fuss in the end. Rockets join London Spirit with two wins from two, while Superchargers have tasted their first defeat; they'll be back in action again on Thursday. Tomorrow it is Birmingham Phoenix at home to Southern Brave in a rematch of last year's final - make sure to join us for that. Cheerio!
Dawid Malan is Hero of the Match: "Good to get a win. Halesy and I dovetailed really well, took on our match-ups and found the boundaries. When you're batting in a partnership like that it makes chasing pretty easy. We were a bit filthy with ourselves that we let them get to that total, probably 10-15 runs too many, especially with the wickets we took early, but ultimately it was a below par score and allowed us to chase."
"How do you explain cricket to someone who is starting to watch it through The Hundred?" Well, Len Mushangwe, you could do worse than reading this
