8.45pm What a finish! A thrill a minute with some big hitting by Tom Curran getting the home side so very close with his 38 off 18 balls and he's the Meerkat Match Hero. Invincibles needed to get moving and they did thanks to him after Fire took key wickets, including that of Jordan Cox, who played well for his 51 off 43.
Shaheen Shah Afridi and Ben Green took two wickets apiece for the Fire after Joe Clarke's unbeaten 69 had seen them to 138 for 6 and Invincibles equalled their total for the loss of seven wickets. A tie is a tie at this stage of the competition, no Super Over(Set). What a stunning finish! From us all here, thank you for joining us!
