    The Northern Brave have moved a step closer to securing hosting rights of the men's domestic Twenty20 final

    The Northern Brave have moved a step closer to securing hosting rights of the men's domestic Twenty20 final


    Today's six-wicket Super Smash victory over Wellington extends their buffer at the top of the ladder with just a week's worth of matches remaining.

    Captain Jeet Raval told Spark Sport batting conditions were tough - meaning they had to stay cautious in their run chase of 105.



    In the women's competition, the Wellington Blaze stayed unbeaten, thrashing Northern by eight wickets after bowling their hosts out for just 46.
