    Match Hero Quinton de Kock speaking to Sky Sports: "As the ball got a bit older it was taking more grip and the pitch got slower. It was difficult but I am glad to get us over the line.

    "I don't think too much about how to pace my innings, it's more on how the pitch feels and I work out what shots I can and can't play.

    "I think the bowlers did a really good job, especially up front. We thought it was a par score but we didn't realise how difficult it was to bat on there. Our bowlers have really held us together.

    "It feels to good to be the Match Hero, it's my fourth game so it feels good to have an impact."

    It was Adam Lyth who gave Northern Supercharges a sniff of an unlikely win.

    It was a lot closer than the Southern Brave would have wanted! Quinton de Kock was the man, batting through the innings. It wasn't easy to bat on that pitch, especially with the spinners, and that's where the Northern Superchargers struggled because nobody stayed in for them.

    Chris Jordan hammers a six to win it!

    Well, it went a lot deeper than I think anyone expected, but Southern Brave have done it. That takes them to second in the table.

    Quinton de Kock would've known that it only takes one boundary to get them back on top and he's done that.

    Brave 121-5published at 10 balls left

    8 runs needed

    High into the air, not especially well-timed - but Quinton de Kock gets enough bat on ball to hammer a six!

    That was needed for the Brave.

    This is what pressure does, it's turned the game on its head. We're in for such a good finish.

    Three dot balls in a row...

    Another short one but De Kock can't get near it, and it's a dot ball...

  18. Brave 115-5published at 13 balls left

    Brilliant running from De Kock allows them to pick up two runs first up, before he misses out on a slower ball bouncer.
