    Well, thanks for joining us for all that fun!

    If you missed it, you can catch up on what happened by reading Matt Henry's match report.

    The table is getting way too complicated for me to try and work out where all the teams stand, so I'm sure he does a better job at explaining it than I would.

    Goodnight!

    Tom Kohler-Cadmore topped off the Superchargers' clinical performance by taking this stunning catch.

    Carlos Brathwaite mentioned the dropped catches and the undoubtable impact that the crowd had.

    John Simpson then went after poor Steven Finn, who went for 51 runs from 15 balls.

    Manchester Originals captain Carlos Brathwaite, speaking to Sky Sports: "We created chances earlier and it felt like everything they touched turn to gold and everything we touched we messed up. I can't remember seeing so many dropped catches and ones going for boundaries. It was an embarrassing performance.

    "We are still humans. They had a 12th man in the crowd, I am not sure everyone was able to handle the crowd and noise as they should have. We crumbled. There is not much more that can be said. If you are chasing 200, 99 times out of100 you will lose."

    Jordan Thompson then hit three sixes in his entertaining cameo of 27.

    You can probably guess that from the fact that the Superchargers scored 200 from their 100 balls, there were a lot of sixes.

    Chris Lynn and David Willey started the entertainment with the six-and-out combo.

    Superchargers wicketkeeper-batsman and match hero John Simpson, speaking to Sky Sports: "It has been a special one [this year]. It is one I will cherish. An incredible last six or seven weeks.

    "We knew it was a massive match so we knew we had to go out and take the game on. Fortunately it came off. It will hopefully stand us in good stead for Tuesday.

    "It is one of those things to try and get used to the wicket, take four or five balls and take it from there.

    "Rash [Adil Rashid] has given me a few headaches over the years. Playing with him has been fantastic. Mujeeb is class. They are two world class spinners and have been brilliant in this tournament. It has been brilliant to keep to them."

    Nothing to lose for Lockie Ferguson. He has put on a bit of a show but he has to depart. That brings in Matt Parkinson, the last man.

    Ferguson's fun comes to an end. He hit a few sixes, he went for another but it went straight in the air instead.

    He had nothing to lose.

    It is lovely to see. It is even better that Finn has a smile on his face. He has gone the distance with the ball and he has gone out there to get his side up to a respectable total.

    The sun will still come up tomorrow, Steven.
