A Milne to C Jordan
FOUR!!! Chris Jordan wins it for Southern Brave. Takes his side into the final.

Beats deep mid wicket to his right and collects a one-bounce boundary. Finishes things in style and Southern Brave beat Birmingham Phoenix in the Super 5 to book a place in the final.
Jordan finishes off the game in style. Southern Brave will play the final at Lord's.

Hero of the Match: Jofra Archer
Jofra Archer (Hero of the Match): "Just relieved to be honest. I felt I gave it away in the second last over against Livi.
I feel like you just have to commit to it. Some days it happens and some days it doesn't. Lucky that it worked today.
We have got 11 match winners and the guys that are not in the 11 are the match-winners as well. It's just about having that belief.
(On recovery before the final) Probably, put on compression boots, lot of physios and a bit of meds."
