Full commentary
9.33pm: That was not much of a spectacle: a slow pitch, a poor side scrapping up to 114, and some poor bowling in the powerplay meaning the chase was a formality. Superchargers' slim qualification hopes are still just about alive, though they'll need to thrash Southern Brave in their last game and hope several other results fall into their favour. That's all from us tonight, thanks for following along.
Adam Lyth is the Match Hero: "Really pleased to get the win and nice to put a performance in their personally. The bowlers were excellent in the first half and then me and Faf put on a nice little partnership. There was a bit of dew and it was skidding on, so we got the best of the conditions. [NRR?] We spoke about that when the timeout came but unfortunately we lost a few wickets."
