Earlier in the innings, The Welsh Fire batters got themselves into a massive mess and despite the blitz towards the end the target of 130 was an under-par one. George Garton was the destroyer-in-chief for Southern Brave picking up three huge wickets in the first 10 balls on the innings. In the end, Southern Brave got over the line with ease.

The hosts could have put up some sort of fight if they picked early wickets but all hopes were shattered by Paul Stirling's brilliant innings. None of the bowlers seemed to have enough penetration to bother the batters. They have had a disappointing game as they lost the match in the first innings itself.

Southern Brave put on an exhibition of batting and have reached the target without a stutter. The opening partnership for them was different in this game and oh my, how much have they missed it this season! Paul Stirling came out all guns blazing and gave his partner time to get settled at the wicket. Quinton de Kock got into his groove as the game progressed and the time at the middle would have done wonders for him. He was dismissed after a partnership of 121 runs after getting his side closer to the finish line. Tim David came in and applied the finishing touches.

Southern Brave have won this game convincingly. They never looked to be in any trouble. Welsh Fire tried their best but could not put the opposition in any trouble.
