9:02pm We'll have more Hundred action - and Stokes updates - tomorrow. As for now, it's goodnight from us!
9:02pm An eventful game, not least for Ben Stokes' hamstring injury which makes the England captain a doubt for the Test series against Sri Lanka which begins in 10 days. "It doesn't look great, unfortunately," says Harry Brook. "I think he'll be getting a scan tomorrow and we'll see how he is."
9:00pm "That's why he's one of the best players in the world!" beams Superchargers skipper Harry Brook. Let's hear from the undoubted Meerkat Match Hero, Nicholas Pooran: "It's definitely one of my better innings in the game, the situation, the need for a hundred runs when I came in, and coming in a new format.
"We have been inconsistent in this tournament. And in T20 tournaments, even 100-ball tournaments, peaking at the right time is so important."
[On the 113m six off Currie] "Yeah I was surprised! I was surprised that ball went up so high. As soon as I saw it went up I thought 'OK, we're in here'."
8:53pm Supercharges scored 118 off the last 37 balls there. Absurd. It's a stunning victory that moves Superchargers third, and consigns Originals to yet another defeat, though they're aready out of it so, well, who cares.
Ben Stokes is out there with crutches shaking hands with the Originals. It is confirmed as a hamstring issue, with updates to come tomorrow upon further assessments. But it's not too great a stretch to suggest that might be his summer over.
What a set of five - 22 from it! 4 needed from 5, Scott Currie back into the attack. What a remarkable innings. What a game! They were 38 for 2 after 50 deliveries!
