Match Details
This is it from the live coverage of this game with Birmingham Phoenix winning it by 53 runs. That’s it for today from myself Nikhil Kalla alongside my co-commentators Arijit Kundu with our scorer/analyst Manish Bishnoi. See you soon again with more games to follow till then stay safe.
"Yeah, obviously this was a great feeling to get my first ever century in seniors. Edgbaston has always been known for its loud and vocal crowd. It is a learning lesson for me that I don't have to hit each and every ball over the fence. I think this was a great performance from the entire team let it be the Batters or the Bowling unit. Hopefully, we can get on a roll from here on and go all the way in the Tournament"
NIKHIL: So, we are done here with Birmingham Phoenix winning the game as they defeat Southern Brave by 53 runs, as they fail to chase down the target of 176.
