After a brilliant performance with the ball now batters needed to do their job which they did pretty well, Ben Duckett gave a flying start and it helped Birmingham Phoenix but the partnership between Duckett and Moeen didn’t sustain so Moeen lost his wicket. Then Liam Livingstone came and stood till the end with Jacob Bethell and finished the target sparing 7 balls. Tim Southee was adjourned as Man Of the Match.
