Stay tuned for the presentation...

Earlier in the innings, Birmingham Phoenix posted 166 runs on the board, thanks to some hard-hitting from Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone. It could have been worse for Oval Invincibles but they did really well to pull things back in the fag end of the innings. During the chase, Oval Invincibles lacked match-changing stands in the middle and would be a bit disappointed.

Moeen Ali used his bowlers really well and that has gotten them over the line here! It was an under-par target and they did really well to restrict Oval Invincibles at 156 runs here. It was Tom Helm and Kane Richardson who stood out with the ball. They combined for 6 wickets in total with three wickets each. Tom Helm was very economical as he gave away only 11 runs in his set of 20. He has certainly grown throughout this tournament. Benny Howell and Henry Brookes took a wicket apiece.

Chasing 167, Oval Invincibles thought they had the batters in their rank to chase this under-par target but they could not make the most of it. Oval Invincibles were put on the back foot instantly as they lost two wickets inside the Powerplay. Jason Roy also could not make the most of his reprieve and fell out after getting a good start. Later, Cox and Sam Curran stitched a 47-run stand to stable the ship. Tom Curran came in and turned on the heat with his cameo of 12-ball 30. He managed to keep his side in the game but Sam Curran followed suit soon after. In the end, they were unable to take back the two crucial points.

Birmingham Phoenix have managed to hold their nerves and get over the line here. They move to third spot in the points table. Oval Invincibles gave a run for their money but could not take on the bowlers here as much as they would've liked to.
