another attempted leg stump yorker, low full toss flicked through midwicket to seal the match.
Invincibles vs Phoenix, 18th Match at Birmingham, Men's Hundred, Aug 04 2021 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Phoenix won by 6 wickets (with 6 balls remaining)
9.39 pm Despite chasing a very very stiff target, the Phoenix canter to victory thanks to a rollicking knock from their captain Moeen Ali. Big assist to Smeed as well for the start he gave at the top of the order. Invincibles fielding left a lot to be desired.
Match Hero is Chris Benjamin: "It's always special to be in front of a full house. Special win tonight. It's been very exciting. It helped that Smeed got us off to the start and then Moeen in the middle for me to finish it at the end. We're just focusing game by game and the rest will take care of itself."
That's it from us tonight. On behalf of Varun Shetty, I'm Peter Della Penna. Come back tomorrow for more action from the Hundred. Take care!
