    Welsh Fire skipper Ben Duckett: "I thought it could have been a lot worse when they batted, and we were fortunate that Ryan Higgins bowled brilliantly.

    "We didn't start well with the bat but the way Glenn played got us ahead of the rate and the guys at the end finished it off.

    "Nobody wants to finish bottom of the table. It was an opportunity for those who missed out earlier in the tournament to come in and show what they could do. You could see by the reaction afterwards it was important to finish the tournament on a high."

    Match Hero, Welsh Fire's Glenn Phillips: "Did I think about making a hundred? It was on my mind but we are team first. We had to try to finish it with a few balls to go. It was in my mind but not at the forefront.

    "It was great to have so many people here and the crowd out here were rowdy and helped get a win for the guys.

    "The pitch was a little slow and under quickened up under lights and we made the most of it. I never try to overthink my batting. The more I try to think the worse I get."

    Here's what the Match Hero, Glenn Phillips (80 from 35 balls), had to say about it.

    For a game that didn't really mean much other than the teams scrapping it out to not finish last, that was incredible. Unfortunately for London Spirit, they take the wooden spoon. Meanwhile, Ben Duckett will be a very happy man to have got his first win as captain from six games in charge.

    Disappointing finish for London Spirit. They had Lord's, the white ball captain of England and Shane Warne. I don't think they ever got it together as a team.

    Well, what a game that was. Welsh Fire were 2-2 and 20-3, looking as if they had absolutely no chance.

    But a gem of an innings from Glenn Phillips, and late cameos from Josh Cobb and Qais Ahmad, gets them over the line with just two balls to spare!

    Qais Ahmad! You beauty! Four more seals it for his team and he has a huge smile on his face.

    Brad Wheal had to get the dots on Qais Ahmad to win it for his team. I think we might end up with a tie!

    Oh no! London Spirit have taken too long to bowl their balls and their punishment is to bring another fielder in from the boundary. How costly could that be?

    Big swing from Josh Cobb - and four more!
