Buttler powers the Super Giants to 187 - The Manchester Super Giants posted a formidable 187/5 off their 100 balls in the first innings. The innings began with a few hiccups but the skipper Jos Buttler was in a league of his own, anchoring the side with a glorious 90 off 50 balls. Heinrich Klaasen injected quick momentum with a sharp 20, but it was Tom Moores who stole the late show, tearing into the attack with a lightning 39 off 17 balls as the Giants ended with a mammoth 187 on the board.

Super Giants tighten the grip - Things went from bad to worse for the Phoenix as Liam Dawson joined the party, sending Joe Clarke back to the pavilion before he could settle for a big score. Gus Atkinson got the important wicket of Laurie Evans and gained even more momentum. By the time the game reached the halfway mark at 50 balls, Birmingham Phoenix were left reeling at a precarious 56/4. Once Mitchell Owen got dismissed, the wickets tumbled one after the other and soon enough the match completely slipped out of the hands of Birmingham Phoenix, and they got bundled out, scoring 100 runs on the board.

Let's hear it from the Player of the Match - Jos Buttler has been given the award for his breathtaking knock of 90 runs off 50 balls. He says that they got a really good score and their bowlers did well to back it up. He reckons that he felt good wth his batting performance in this short format. He mentions that he wanted to go behind the spinners and it worked well for him. He further says that it was a clinical performance from his side and it is nice to win at home. He ends by saying that they will try and carry on with the same momentum.

A double strike by Tongue halts Phoenix chase - Chasing a mammoth 188, Birmingham Phoenix needed a flying start, but their chase got off to a slow and shaky opening. The pressure built up quickly, and Josh Tongue capitalized in stunning fashion on the 17th and 18th balls by removing both Will Smeed and Rehan Ahmed in rapid succession. Joe Clarke tried to fight back with a punchy cameo of 20, but just as he looked dangerous, Liam Dawson broke through to cut his stay short and keep Manchester firmly in control.

Back-to-back victories -  Manchester Super Giants have been impeccable throughout the match, not only with the bat, but with the ball as well. After an exceptional first innings, they came back harder in the second innings. Kept their lines and lengths tight and leaked minimum boundaries, which piled loads of pressure on the chasing team. Liam Dawson is definitely the peak of the bowlers with the figures of 17-10-15-3.
