Adam Milne is the Match Hero: "It's nice to get that new ball swinging and take a few wickets early. Bowling at night, it swung around against Invincibles too. Incredible batting from Smudger and the boys, and put them under pressure through the middle with the spinners. Disappointing season when you look at the team, but that's short-format cricket. Today we showed what we are capable of. Love the tournament, great to be a part of it."
So, that's that. The group stages are done. We've a day of build-up tomorrow, then it's the Eliminator coming up at the Oval on Friday. Join us then!
8.57pm Well, that was a Kiwi demolition job. Adam Milne's four wickets in the powerplay splattered Spirit's resolve, save for a counterattack from his countryman, Daryl Mitchell. And, not to be outdone, Tim Southee chipped in with 3 for 23 too, but either side of three massive displays with the bat from Jamie Smith, Ben Duckett and Moeen Ali. They came to the party to lift Phoenix from eighth to sixth in the table with their second win of the campaign. Handy!
