Birmingham Phoenix reach The Hundred Eliminator after beating Manchester Originals in a rain-affected match at Edgbaston.
In a match reduced to 30 balls per side because of rain at Edgbaston, Phoenix cruised to their modest target of 42 with nine wickets and eight balls to spare.
Captain Moeen Ali then finished the game in style with a six to set up an encounter with Southern Brave in Saturday's Eliminator. Only Max Holden, with 15, and Phil Salt, with 12, reached double figures, while New Zealand fast bowler Adam Milne took 2-8, including opener Matty Hurst from the second ball of the innings, as Phoenix exploited the seam-friendly conditions.
