TableBirmingham Phoenix and Trent Rockets ended this year's Hundred run-drought with a high-scoring contest at Edgbaston, which the home side edged by 10 runs.
The 29 sixes hit across both innings was also a Hundred record.
Joe Clarke and Will Smeed both scored fifties in Phoenix's flying start as the pair added 104 from just 49 balls for the first wicket.
On a difficult night for bowlers, Rockets spinner Calvin Harrison's figures of 2-27 were an outlier.
