9.28pm So, that's your lot. Brave versus Originals will be repeated on Saturday, with Oval Invincibles awaiting in the final. See you there! From Miller and Vairavan, good night!

Devon Conway is the Match Hero: "Thrilled to get to the play-offs. The rain helped the ball skid on, fortunate that happened, I made sure I batted through the innings and built partnerships. Finn set the tone in the first few balls. it wasn't horizontal rain so it wasn't affecting the eyes, but they were slipping a bit in the field. We created partnerships and the runs flowed, good momentum for [the Eliminator] against the same opposition, looking forward to it."

9.22pm So that's an emphatic way to vault into the top three. Southern Brave overhaul Welsh Fire in third spot, and they've laid down a marker against these same opponents, Manchester Originals, who they'll be meeting in the play-off on Saturday evening. It was, in fairness, an unequal contest given the rain that affected the chase, but credit to James Vince for bowling first after winning the toss, despite picking a spin-laden attack. He rightly figured the dry deck would suit his bowlers before the rain came, and that was the case. Originals never got a chance to get a grip, literally, with Devon Conway's priceless 54 from 40 sealing the deal.

Donald Alexande: "Another great knock to Devon Conway, Pride of New Zealand. Could have been Pride of South Africa. No matter, we'll take 'im. The only mystery is why would-be Springboks don't try to become All Blacks."
