MI London's Hundred title defence over despite narrow win over Phoenix

MI London had the lights turned out on their hopes of claiming a fourth straight Hundred title despite beating bottom-placed Birmingham Phoenix in a nip-and-tuck final men's group match.

As the Edgbaston crowd were treated to a solar eclipse, the visitors knew they needed to win by at least 59 runs to take third position from SunRisers Leeds and qualify for the play-off on their home patch after Phoenix won a crucial toss and elected to field.
