Southern Brave qualified for the Eliminator in The Hundred despite their match against Welsh Fire being abandoned because of rain.
The one point they were awarded lifted Brave above Northern Superchargers on net run-rate into second and guaranteed them a top-three spot, even if fourth-placed Birmingham Phoenix beat Manchester Originals in their final match on Thursday.
Welsh Fire posted 181-5 in their 100 balls, mainly thanks to a blistering fourth-wicket partnership between Luke Wells and Glenn Phillips worth 76 from just 30 balls.
Wells top-scored with 53 from 30 balls, while Phillips’ 48 from just 19 deliveries included five sixes – one of which went 103 metres.
Brave lost Alex Davies and James Vince to slump to 21-2 after 16 balls of their reply before rain ended play.
