Commentator: Valkerie Baynes

9.35pm Phoenix are through to the Eliminator against Southern Brave! They reach 42 runs for the loss of just one wicket with eight balls to spare in this rain-hit match reduced to a maximum of 30 balls per side! The Edgbaston crowd - all 11,625 of them - are rewarded for sticking it out in some awful weather. Phoenix finish second on the table and the winner of their clash with Brave will face Oval Invincibles in the final. Meanwhile, Northern Superchargers, who were sweating on an Originals victory to hold a place in the top three, are out of it.

"A bit of weather around so to come out of a shortened game with a win and a place in the Eliminator is very good for us," says Match Hero Adam Milne, who took two of Originals' five wickets to fall in their 41-run total, as the rain falls even heavier now.

Vishal Poojary: "Great to see the players from both teams and the match officials ensuring there was a result this game. Just what the fans need!"

Thanks for staying with us. We look forward to bringing you all the action from Saturday's Eliminators - it'll be Invincibles vs Spirit in the women's before the Phoenix-Brave men's clash. See you then!

Currie to Ali, SIX, going down the leg side, Moeen moves early and calmly, stepping back and steering the ball for six to finish the match! He just helped it on its way over the fence at fine leg and that wins the game!

Currie to Smith, OUT, back of a length outside off and skied to deep cover where Sikander Raza takes a simple catch! He didn't latch onto that as he'd have liked and is gone as a result
