PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Ellyse Perry wins the award for playing a match-winning knock of 62 off 39 balls. Ellyse Perry says it is nice to finish on a high and she cannot fault the team's effort throughout the tournament. They gave everything but it did not come off on the field, so to end well at home in a great atmosphere as usual is lovely. On her innings, Perry says it was a pretty good wicket to bat on. There was not much turn but the wicket was holding up slightly for the spinners. She highlights Phoebe Brett for bowling exceptionally well, along with Alana King and Eva Gray, who were excellent for them all season. On Fatima Sana's knock, Perry calls her a world-class player and says it is the first time she has got the opportunity to play alongside her in franchise cricket.

Phoenix restricted London to a modest 120 - A disciplined bowling performance from Birmingham Phoenix kept MI London in check throughout their innings, restricting them to a modest 120/6 after Phoenix won the toss and elected to field first. MI London suffered early setbacks as Kira Meghan Chathli departed cheaply, followed by Hayley Matthews for 21 at the end of the Powerplay, leaving the visitors at 29/2. The slide continued when Amelia Kerr fell for a golden duck, and Alice Monaghan was dismissed for 12, leaving the side struggling at 54/4 at the halfway mark. Despite the pressure and a slow scoring rate that saw them at 74/4 after 75 balls, Chinelle Henry and Captain Hollie Armitage provided a crucial late surge with a valuable 56-run partnership off 44 balls. Henry played the role of the aggressor with a vital 42 off 33 balls before falling in the penultimate set, while Armitage contributed a steady 32 off 31 balls before being dismissed on the final delivery of the innings. Ultimately, the visitors added 29 runs in the final three sets to scrape past the hundred mark, largely contained by Eva Gray, who finished as the standout performer for the Phoenix with impressive figures of 2/29.

Perry and Sana script stunning final game win - Just as the game seemed to be slipping away, Ellyse Perry and Fatima Sana joined forces to execute a brilliant rescue act and guide Birmingham home by 5 wickets. Perry anchored the chase superbly with a magnificent, match-winning half-century, while Sana provided unwavering support from the other end with a sturdy knock of 38. Together, the duo stitched an unbeaten 66-run partnership for the fifth wicket to help the team around the finish line, handing Birmingham only their second win of the season and capping off a difficult campaign with a memorable consolation victory for their home fans.

London's early strike and Birmingham's comeback - Chasing a target of 121, Birmingham Phoenix endured a nightmarish start to their innings as MI London's bowlers struck early and put the batting lineup under immense pressure. Kirstie Gordon spearheaded the initial onslaught by picking up two crucial wickets, while Tara Norris and Amelia Kerr claimed one wicket apiece to rip through the Phoenix top order. This clinical opening bowling spell left Birmingham reeling at a precarious 48/4, threatening to derail their final match and condemn them to yet another defeat.
