This, however, never seemed to be sufficient, because the 55 off 38 of Crawley put the super chargers on the way before Captain Harry Brook returned home with 18 bullets to lose by slapping a border in the middle – to finish invainu on nine of three deliveries.
After the opener Spirit David Warner fell for a four-ball duck and the former New Zealand captain Kane Williamson was absent for only 10, Smith was ahead of the local team at 70 for three to half.
The Pope reached three limits in his half-century and Ashton Turner added a Swift 28, but has always left the mind well below a competitive target.

This has proven anything, but Dawid Malan doing 22 in a stand for the first counter of 63 before Dan Lawrence Rapid 37 supported Crawley’s undulation when the super-chargers closed a fourth six-game victory to move on 16 points with invincible oval champions and Trent Rockets.
In The Men’s Hundred to Sophia Gardens, Southern Brave fought with a four -point victory on Welsh Fire to end his three defeats.

The Quatillers of Welsh Fire had previously benefited from the favorable conditions, Matt Henry turning two of his 20 balls after rejecting Leeus du Ploy (two) and Jason Roy (four).
The skipper Brave James Vince (29) then helped his team to go back to 53 for three, before the Australian Cartwright started to attack – hitting five six while he reached a half -century of 19 balls.
Jonny Bairstow (22) led the continuation of the fire race – striking Craig Overton for two four and one in the first set.
With 20 bullets to play, the fire needed 27 to win and had three hands in hand – but Tom Kohler -Cadmore (25) fled in deep, leaving Jordan to close his last five and brave.

Chasing 112 for the victory at Cardiff, the brave took a good start while the pair of England Maia Boucher and Danni Wyatt-Hodge put 48 for the opening window, but they then had trouble in the form of Jonassen.
After taking the capture of Wyatt -Hodge off Georgia Davis, Jonassen – on the way to figures of four by 10 – explained Boucher (35) and Laura Wolvaardt to leave visitors out of 57 for three.
The courageous stabilized, but another burst of counters saw them from 98 for three to 107 for seven before Georgia Adams obtained the winning races of Davis, while the brave obtained a finish among the first three.
