The Hundred Eliminator 2024: Southern Brave beat Birmingham Phoenix in Super Five to reach final

Southern Brave are through to The Hundred final after a remarkable Eliminator against Birmingham Phoenix was decided by the first Super Five in the tournament’s history.

Liam Livingstone took Phoenix to the brink of victory in regulation play with a brutal half-century but he fell with three runs needed and Brave spinner Akeal Hosein conceded just two from his last three ******, resulting in a tie.

Jofra Archer then had Livingstone caught from the first ball of the Super Five and restricted Phoenix to just seven from the extra five deliveries.

A Chris Jordan boundary got Brave over the line with a ball to spare to set up a final against defending champions Oval Invincibles at Lord’s on Sunday evening.

That prospect looked a long way off when Livingstone hit a Hosein no-ball for six to bring the equation down to three needed from four ******.

But he ******* to connect with the free hit and then holed out next ball to give Brave a chance – one they ultimately took to progress to their first final since winning the inaugural tournament in 2021.

More to follow.
