Southern Brave vs Welsh Fire, 30th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That's it from this game. We have another game starting very soon. Do hop tabs to catch up on that one. For now from here, it's bye bye.

James Vince | Brave captain: Never in doubt [referring to the rain coming down] (laughs). In hindsight, bowling first and they probably got away from us. Some good players got going and we couldn’t stop them. The rain came and saved us in time. (On his dismissal) 25-balls to constitute a game, found out we needed to be 42-43 after 25 balls. On the whole, the bowling group gets credit. The batting goes under the radar a bit. Would like a few more guys in form. On the whole, we’ve been reasonably consistent.

17:39 Local Time, 16:39 GMT, 22:09 IST: There it is. The rain has won and it has helped the Brave. No-result as the game has been abandoned. Brave are very lucky, they were well behind chasing 182 with their star player Vince gone just before the rain break. And just 9 more balls were needed for a game to be constituted but the rain which came in did not relent and the umps decided that the groundstaff did not have enough time to get the ground ready by the cut-off time for 18:10. A loss would have opened the door for the Superchargers but now with a point, the Brave assure themselves of a playoff spot. Coming to the game, the Fire finally clicked as Wells and Phillips' partnership set them on their way to 181. There were other contributions from Eskinazi and TKC as well. Chasing 181, the Brave lost two wickets in the 16 balls including Vince who again looked dangerous with four boundaries in one Willey set. Then the rain came down.

17:25 Local Time, 16:25 GMT, 21:55 IST: We are hearing that 18:10 is the latest we can restart to complete the 25 balls needed. But we saw last night that once the rain set in, the umps decided to call it off well before the cut-off time. Let's see what happens today. Meanwhile the rain has gotten heavier and the auxiliary covers are on covering the bowlers' run-ups and the square. Not great news but Brave will be chuffed at the moment.

16:51 Local Time, 15:51 GMT, 21:21 IST: And they are off. Just before James Vince got out, he was in a long chat with umpire Rob White. Maybe about the rain and the DLS calculations. That surely played a role in Vince's mind as he tried to slog and got out. He is looking not too happy inside the dressing room as the camera focusses on him. He is having a chat with Jordan right now. Meanwhile the hover-cover is on. The Fire slowly walk off. It looks very gloomy. Need another 9 balls to constitute a contest. If it's a no-result, the Brave will qualify as they will overhaul Superchargers on NRR, equalling them on 11 points.
