Amy Jones hit her maiden half-century in The Hundred and then produced a record-breaking performance behind the stumps as Birmingham Phoenix beat Southern Brave by 16 runs in the women’s competition.
Jones top-scored with 51 off 36 balls, while Emily Arlott chipped in with a 12-ball 22 as Phoenix posted a competitive 137-7.
Tilly Corteen-Coleman was the pick of the Brave bowlers at Edgbaston as the 16-year-old left-arm spinner claimed 2-22.
Phoenix skipper Ellyse Perry ripped through the Brave top order as she took 3-21, including the key wickets of Maia Bouchier and Smriti Mandhana.
Danni Wyatt whacked a defiant 43 off 33 balls but as soon as she and Freya Kemp (23) were out, Brave’s effort faltered as they were bowled out for 121.
England wicketkeeper Jones snaffled six catches with the gloves – the most dismissals of any wicketkeeper in the history of the women’s tournament.
