Adam Milne (Hero of the Match): "With the weather around, to come up in a shortened game and come out on top is a top effort.
There was some swing and seam. It was nice to get that. Also, some change of pace. It's a short game and you have to keep mixing it up.
Anytime it's moving off the strip, it's great. It's nice to have something for the bowlers in the shortest format.
It's been great. It's my third year with the Birmingham boys and I'm enjoying my time here. A couple of Kiwi boys as well here and it's good to be a part of this group."

Hero of the Match: Adam Milne
2:04 AM IST & 9:34 PM Local Time: That's it! Birmingham Phoenix have defied the rain and booked themselves a place in the Eliminator with a 9-wicket win over Manchester Originals in a rain-curtailed encounter at home. Moeen Ali with the winning runs and they will take on Southern Brave in the Eliminator on Saturday (August 17).
Earlier in the match, Manchester Originals, after being put into bat could only make 41/5 from their set of 30 balls.
The match was reduced to 30-ball per side because of heavy downpour in Birmingham. Phil Salt (12 off 8) and Max Holden (15 off 10) were the only batters who managed to get to double figures as the rest struggled to get the big shots away and perished.
Matthew Hurst was out for a golden duck. Paul Walter made 1 off 2, while Sikandar Raza scored 3 runs off 4 balls. Jamie Overton remained unbeaten on 3 off 4 and Tom Hartly was not out on 1 after facing only one delivery in the innings.
Adam Milne picked up two wickets, while Tim Southee, Sean Abbott and Chris Wood all got one scalp each.
In reply, Ben Duckett and Jamie Smith put on an opening stand of 35 off 18 balls. Smith departed for 14 off 7 but Duckett stood his ground and he was joined by his skipper Moeen Ali, who finished things off in style with a big hit over deep fine leg to confirm his team's place in the Eliminator.
Manchester Originals end a disappointing season with yet another defeat. Without their regular skipper Jos Buttler, nothing seemed to go right for them from the start.
Although they found themselves in winning positions in a few games, missing those opportunities meant they couldn’t secure the points needed to reach the top three.

Phoenix skipper finishes things off in style! Birmingham Phoenix secure their place in the top three of The Hundred 2024.
22b S Currie to M Ali
6 SIXXX!!! Moeen Ali finishes things in style. Hits one over the ropes and takes his side into the Eliminator of the Hundred 2024. Currie bends his back and bangs it short on the body of Moeen who was backing away. The Phoenix skipper swivels and just helps it on its way over the fine leg fence for a maximum. Nice use of the pace from Mo and Phoenix win the game by nine wickets.
Change of bat for Moeen Ali.
21b S Currie to B Duckett
1 Over the wicket, on a length on off, 81 mph, Duckett pushes it towards the sweeper in the off side for a single.
Excellent bowling from Scott Currie. Just one run and a wicket off the fourth set. Birmingham Phoenix need seven runs off 10 balls. Scott Currie to continue for another set.

Scott Currie strikes in his first over, but the damage has already been done. Smith departs for 7-ball 14-run cameo.
18b S Currie to J Smith
W Smith holes out in the deep. Currie strikes in his very first set. Bowls an off-pace delivery on the shorter side outside off, 71 mph, Smith makes room and looks to hit it over covers but ends up hitting it squarer than he would have liked. Raza stationed at deep cover point takes a simple catch.
17b S Currie to B Duckett
1 Back of a length delivery on the body, 86 mph, Duckett tucks it towards deep mid wicket for a single.
