Rain wins the game on Day 3
The solitary match of the tournament on Thursday became prey to the cloudburst at the venue. It was scheduled to take place at Headingley, Leeds, and was supposed to be a thrilling match due to the intensity of the squads. The Phoenix scored 84 runs on the loss of five wickets in 62 balls before the rain interrupted the game.
Their score had major efforts from Ben Duckett (34 off 26) and Will Smeed (21 off 18). The score could have easily crossed 100 but it has to be ended with rain disruption.
As far as the Superchargers' bowling is concerned, Matthew Short shone with two wickets conceding nine runs in 10 balls. Adil Rashid, Wayne Parnell, and Reece Topley picked a wicket each.
