Glenn Maxwell made 62 not out off 36 to win it with a ball to spare and two wickets in hand after Corbin Bosch took 3 for 26 to give South Africa a chance

Australia 173 for 8 (Maxwell 62*, Marsh 54, Bosch 3-26 ) beat South Africa 172 for 7 (Brevis 53, Ellis 3-31) by two wickets
Glenn Maxwell had scored his first T20I fifty in a year and 11 innings to put Australia on track after they were teetering at 122 for 6, chasing 173, in the 14th. Australia needed 12 runs from 12 balls to complete their highest successful chase at home. Kagiso Rabada was bowled out. What could possibly go wrong from there?
Corbin Bosch took two wickets in two balls in a penultimate over that ended as a double-wicket maiden. Maxwell refused a run off the last ball to keep strike in the final over and Lungi Ngidi was tasked with defending nine runs. His first ball was hit out to deep wide long-on where Bosch flicked the ball back in-field as he leapt over the rope to save four. Then Maxwell beat Lhuan-dre Pretorius at deep cover for four and turned down another opportunity for a single with four runs to get. He reverse-hoicked Ngidi over short third to seal the deal off the second last ball of the match and confirm his status as the big show in a thrilling finale.

Guyana Amazon Warriors 154 for 5 (McDermott 75, Hope 56*, Afridi 2-24) beat St Kitts and Nevis Patriots 153 for 8 (Fletcher 60, Pretorius 3-43, Tahir 2-29) by five wickets
Guyana Amazon Warriors made it look quite easy, putting in a strong bowling performance that got them a low target, and then knocking off the runs with 16 balls in hand to win their opening game of CPL 2025, beating St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. The bowlers set up the win for Amazon Warriors, but the standout star of the show was Ben McDermott, who slammed 75 in 39 balls to make the chase a canter, with support from Shai Hope, who hit an unbeaten 56 in 39 balls.
Amazon Warriors opted to field, and had a slice of fortune early on when Evin Lewis, who had looked in good nick on the previous night, hurt his bottom hand while hitting a swivel-pull off Shamar Joseph in the second over that went for four - not before a comical bit of (mis)fielding from Romario Shepherd in the deep. Lewis had to retire hurt.

An absorbing game in front of a capacity Leeds crowd finally went the way of Harry Brook's Superchargers, who claimed top spot outright in the men's Hundred following another scintillating batting performance against Birmingham Phoenix.
In pursuit of the Superchargers' 193 for 5 - the highest score in the men's tournament since the 2023 season - a magnificent partnership of 80 in just 42 balls between Phoenix's Liam Livingstone and Jacob Bethell briefly threatened to upset the odds, but the brilliance of Adil Rashid, who removed Bethell caught-and-bowled with 87 still needed from 38 balls, ultimately swung the momentum back to the home team.
