Adam Milne picked up two wickets for Phoenix as they restricted the Rockets to 162/6. Jamie Smith top-scored with 38 while chasing but a lack of contributions from the other batters resulted in them losing the game by 46 runs.
London Spirit, on the other hand, have six points to their name in seven games.

They suffered a loss against Welsh Fire in their last outing.
After electing to bat first, the Spirit’s batters faltered as they never got going and only managed to score 109 at the end of their innings. Daniel Worrall bowled brilliantly upfront and picked up three wickets but it wasn’t enough as they failed to defend the total. They will hope to come out on top in their last game on Thursday.
