'I've never seen a six so big!' - Cartwright hits Payne out the ground
It has been a tough day for Welsh Fire. Their women were eliminated earlier and now their men are facing the same fate after another defeat.
Northern Superchargers men face London Spirit from 18:30 BST. We'll be back with you for that shortly.
That win edges Southern Brave up to third in the table - the second eliminator spot.
Northern Superchargers will retake it later if they beat London Spirit in a match that starts in 30 minutes.
Welsh Fire are bottom with one win. They're not mathematically out but they're as good as gone.

It was Hilton Cartwright's innings that gave the Southern Brave something to bowl at. Welsh Fire got off to a brilliant start.
Chris Jordan is hobbling, clutching his groin. He's clearly in pain.
Southern Brave keep their competition alive. Welsh Fire are having a howler.
Another yorker nailed by Chris Jordan. Southern Brave have pulled this one out of the bag.
Jordan hobbles away, still struggling with that groin injury.
He has bowled a fine final five there but it was an all-round bowling effort after Hilton Cartwright's crucial 51 not out from 19 balls gave them a chance.
Chris Jordan takes a while to get his field in place. Brave have already lost once in this situation this year...
Need six from one ball
What have you got, Matt Henry? He needs to hit the final ball for six for victory because David Payne has only managed another one.
This has been good from Chris Jordan...
Need seven from two balls
Only a single again! Welsh Fire are struggling here.
They'll effectively be out if they lose.
There are no super overs in the group stage, if you're wondering.
Need eight runs from three balls
Another fumble allows Welsh Fire a single but Fire need boundaries now.
Sliced for three to third man! Matt Henry would have taken that.
Nine from four needed.
New Zealand's Matt Henry is on strike. It's better than the BBC's, I guess...
Need 12 from five balls to win
Well bowled, young James Coles. The left-arm spinner concedes only four.
Chris Jordan to bowl the last.
Target 130
Matt Henry gets off strike this time. He may have a good name but his batting is not great.
13 from six needed.
The excellently-named Matt Henry picks out the fielder first ball.
This is going to be awkward for us.
14 from 7 to win.

HIlton Cartwright cant do wrong. Tom Kohler-Cadmore will be thinking 'what on Earth have I just done'. It was a silly shot in the circumstances.
Kohler-Cadmore c Cartwright b Coles 25 (Fire 116-8)
Tom Kohler-Cadmore holes out! He went for the big shot but picked out deep square-leg.
Brave are surely favourites now.

Need 14 runs to win
Chris Jordan is being lined up to bowl the last five if we get there but he's holding his groin again. He rushed back from an injury in that area for this game.
Need 15 from 10 balls
No pressure, James Coles. The young spinner will bowl the penultimate set.
He begins with a wide.
Need 16 from 10 balls
That was a glove! It should have been a fourth wicket for Jofra Archer. Laurie Evans somehow put it down with his gloves in front of his face.
A sitter.
