Clarke found a willing partner in Sean Dickson and the two put on 92 in 47 balls before they were parted, young speedster Henry Crocombe having Clarke caught by Liam Livingstone with the first ball of his only set on debut. In all, Phoenix added 109 in the second half, skipper Donovan Ferreira providing the finishing flourish to take his side to a seemingly competitive 162 for 4. When Spirit batted, Jonny Bairstow didn't hang around, 6-4-W the story of his three-ball innings. Livingstone came in against his old team and, after the departure of Lhuan-dre Pretorius, set about the Phoenix bowling in partnership with Dewald Brevis , one of the few batters in T20 cricket who has hit more sixes than fours. Livingstone ended up with 66 from 30 and Brevis finished things in a hurry, going to an unbeaten 55 off 31 to win the game with a comfortable 18 balls to spare.
