That is it from this game then! The action from this tournament continues on Monday! Just the one game coming your way and it is a clash between Welsh and Rockets. That game begins at 2300 IST (1730 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye!
MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD GOES TO Jamie Smith!
A comprehensive win for Birmingham Phoenix and it is their first of this tournament. Oval Invincibles on the other hand, had a day to forget. They have suffered their first loss of the tournament. They just were not up to the mark. They began well with the ball but the innings from Jamie Smith helped Birmingham Phoenix get to the 160-run mark. In reply, they kept losing wickets. Chris Woakes and Adam Milne were brilliant with the new ball. Kane Richardson then continued the good work and he picked 4. Benny Howell also impressed. For Oval, they needed someone to go big, chasing a big score but that was not the case as their batters just could not deal with the movement the Birmingham Phoenix bowlers were getting. A strong performance by the hosts.
