We are done with another game. We are at the final lap of this edition of the tournament. Today's game didn't have much of a consequence but did provide entertainment. Hope we had you glued as well. We will be back soon with more dollops of entertainment. Bye bye...
Liam Livingstone, Match Hero: Yeah, we felt like we really switched on so and we felt like they were a bit off. But yeah, I thought we bowled really well with the new ball. The powerplay was excellent, and I thought we were great again today and I thought we were ahead of the game. It's something we've been talking about, is trying to be really positive in that powerplay and trying to get ahead of the game. It's probably something we haven't done too well over the tournament. So, yeah, it's been one of our sort of tasks to try and get ahead of the game, put them under a lot of pressure in the powerplay with two men out. I love playing with Brevis. He's obviously a tremendous talent. He hits the ball as clean as anyone in world cricket. So, yeah, it's quite nice to stand at the other end and watch him go like as well. Yeah, the crowd's been amazing. I've absolutely loved my time down here. Obviously a different franchise for me this year. And I was really looking forward to coming down and playing at Lord's. And I think tonight was probably the smallest crowd and it's pretty much full. So, yeah, the supporters have been amazing. It's an amazing ground to play at. To get to play four games here is pretty special. So, yeah, thanks to all the fans that have come out and supported us. Yeah, hopefully we've done our best to entertain.
20:40 Local Time, 19:40 GMT, 01:10 IST: London in this battle of the wooden spooners have humbled the Phoenix! They have snatched the points and have done so in an emphatic manner. Liam Livingstone and Dewald Brevis didn't spare anyone barring Usman Tariq who gave away only 13 runs in his spell of 20 balls. Both sides came into this game with nothing to lose as both were eliminated. And the Phoenix side seemed to have decent runs to play with. But the London team started off with intent and carried on till the end. Liam and Dewald added more than 100 for the third wicket and that ensured there was an early finish. The Phoenix bowling changes looked clueless and it gave us an idea why they have finished last on the table.
