Sophie Devine took three for 15 while the partnership of Danni Wyatt-Hodge (43) and Laura Wolvaardt (33 not out) made 61 as Brave successfully hit a target of 103 set for them with 17 balls to spare for their third triumph of the season.

In Cardiff, Kathryn Bryce was stumped by younger sister Sarah, but still led Manchester Originals Women to a thumping seven-wicket win over Welsh Fire.
The elder Bryce sibling had made 45 off 41 balls when she was beaten by Jess Jonassen, with Bryce junior removing the bails.
But the Originals cruised past their meagre target of 74 for the loss of just three wickets.
Bryce had earlier taken two wickets and Lauren Filer took three in five balls as Fire were restricted to 73 for nine.

Jamie Smith leads London Spirit to win over Trent Rockets
London Spirit claimed their second win of The Hundred with a 21-run victory over Trent Rockets. England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith scored a half century for the hosts at Lord's as they reached a total of 162 for five and Joe Root's Rockets, who had won their opening two matches, were unable to keep pace in reply. Smith was eventually caught by his England team-mate Root off the bowling of Sam Cook for 52 but captain Kane Williamson maintained the pace with 45, while Ollie Pope and Ashton Turner also contributed valuable runs. Openers Tom Banton and Root got London Spirit off to a strong start in their reply, putting on 73 for the first wicket, but Marcus Stoinis, who smashed four sixes, was the only other batter to make an impression. There was a painful end to his innings after only three balls, meanwhile, for Tom Alsop, who left the field with blood streaming from his nose after a bouncer from Jamie Overton found a way through. The Rockets ultimately came up well short, finishing their innings on 141 for six. There was success for the midlands outfit in the women's event, though, the Rockets claiming their first victory of the season in emphatic fashion. England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt led them to 149 for six with an unbeaten half-century, and they bowled out reigning champions Spirit for 116 with five balls remaining to claim a 33-run win. Openers Bryony Smith and Natasha Wraith set the tone for the visitors at Lord's with a partnership of 62 for the opening wicket – Smith scoring 42 from 23 balls. Both fell to Eva Gray, who then went on to dismiss Heather Graham and Emma Jones in successive balls, but Sciver-Brunt remained at the crease and finished her innings unbeaten on 51 from 29 balls. London Spirit lost wickets at regular intervals, with only Kira Chathli, Cordelia Griffith and Charli Knott reaching double figures, while Kirstie Gordon claimed four wickets for only 15 runs off 20 balls.

The visitors made a bright start in reply as Tom Banton and Joe Root added 73 for the first wicket, but they fell away after the former's departure and crawled to were ultimately punished for a sloppy fielding effort. Smith was put down on 23 and 26, while Kane Williamson was also dropped twice in making 45 as the pair added 73 for the second wicket. Smith clubbed four sixes and two fours while Williamson showed his sublime touch and class in a 32-ball knock that followed Australian David Warner's departure for six. Warner's compatriot Ashton Turner provided a late cameo of 30 from16 balls, while Ollie Pope made 17 from nine, to complete a much-improved batting effort after Spirit's previous performance on home turf saw them bowled out for just led the charge in his opening stand with Root but the course of the game changed when he played on to his stumps off Jamie Overton, who struggled through his 20 balls with an injury that could be a cause for concern for departure sparked a collapse of four wickets for 17 runs, including Root for 27 and Rehan Ahmed for a duck, and their task became even more difficult when Tom Alsop was struck by an Overton bouncer that burst through his helmet and he had to retire hurt.
