9.27pm: That's all from us tonight. From Matt, Chandan and Alan, thanks for tuning into our live coverage and we'll be back over the weekend for some double-header action.
The Meerkat Match Hero (yes, really) is Chris Jordan. "I think I tweaked the calf. That's part of parcel of life. Really happy I got the job done. I tried to take it as deep as possible. I obviously got on a roll and then just kept it going. The key was just commitment, really. The crowd here is always amazing. Once they got going, I just tried to keep entertaining them. I thought the boys bowled really well. Everyone played a role and stepped up."
9.22pm: Game over. A tight win for Southern Brave, a result which they needed after losing their opener against Trent Rockets. Welsh Fire brought back down to earth after their win over Manchester. Superb from Mills, who didn't concede a boundary in his 20 balls, but Chris Jordan was the match-winner with the bat - a superb 70 not out keeping his side in the contest.
Mir: "Thay deserved this lose ignoring SSA in batting now days is crime how can't they use him in these situation wow"
Dezz: "Every game has been close so far (apart from the washout)!"
DJ Willey c sub (JJ Weatherley) b Mills 31 (32m 19b 0x4 2x6) SR: 163.15
3 from 1. A tie is a tie. No Super Over/Five/Set. Dot or one for Brave to win. Three or more for Fire to win. Two for a point each. Does Mills go slow or pace on?
Willey is blowing here. Pauses to catch his breath.
Ben: "David 'hit the gaps and run two' Willey"
5 from 2...
7 off 3. It's a nipper! The field changes, Vince reinforcing the leg side. Davies is going off.
Mills to finish things off. 11 needed from 5 balls.
Tahir: "Seems like Welsh fire isn't aware of Shaheen's hitting ability."
