In the North Group, Leicestershire Foxes secured a six-wicket win over rivals Northamptonshire Steelbacks at the County Ground to boost their own top-four hopes.
Rehan Ahmed's unbeaten half century (52) saw the Foxes home past their victory target at the start of the 17th over at 173 for four.
After opener Rishi Patel had been caught and bowled off the third delivery by Steelbacks captain David Willey, the Foxes regrouped as Shan Masood (25) and Sol Budinger (40) pushed them on in support of Ahmed. George Scrimshaw finished with three wickets.
Northamptonshire had posted 171 for seven after being put into bat.
After opener Tim Robinson fell for a two-ball duck to Netherlands all-rounder Logan van Beek, the Steelbacks mounted a recovery with a rapid 30 from Saif Zaib.
Ravi Bopara (53) stayed on to make a half-century, hitting six fours and one over the rope, but was swiftly running out of partners as more wickets fell through successive overs before Luke Procter finished 22 not out off 17 deliveries.
Worcestershire Rapids edged to a 12-run win at bottom side Derbyshire.
The Rapids, having won the toss and deciding to bat, looked in trouble at 10 for four in the third over after Zak Chappell took wickets in successive balls.
Wicketkeeper-batter Gareth Roderick, though, steadied the innings with a solid 71, hitting four fours and two sixes. Ethan Brookes made 43 before Ben Dwarshuis ended unbeaten on 33 as the visitors reached 174 for six.
The Falcons lost opener Aneurin Donald to the first ball of their reply – with an unbeaten 77 from Wayne Madsen just not enough to get them to their target, finishing short at 162 for six.
