Four teams have qualified; one more spot up for grabs and two teams (Sydney Thunder and Hobart Hurricanes) are in the hunt. Tune in tomorrow for the last two round-robin encounters. For now, goodbye...

Aaron Finch | Player of the Match: (Mindset) I knew we had to get a little bit of platform. The wicket played pretty well once the ball got older. It was still seaming. I tried to take deep and Critchley played brilliantly. That was a great little knock (from Wells), he was a calming influence. (On Fawad Ahmed) His wicket of de Grandhomme was huge. He bowled nicely.
