Spirit beat local rivals Invincibles in the women's game with their spinners restricting their opponents to 113-9 before Georgia Redmayne's unbeaten half-century and skipper Heather Knight's 36 not out took Spirit home with nine balls to spare.
In the men's game, we saw a dramatic Super 5 after Brave and Birmingham Phoenix tied on 126 runs apiece from their regulation 100 balls at The Kia Oval.
Jofra Archer then limited Phoenix to seven runs in Super 5 and Brave subsequently eclipsed that with one ball to spare thanks to Chris Jordan's boundary off Adam Milne.

How have the defending champions done?
The men's ones - Oval Invincibles - have done very well indeed, reaching the final yet again thanks in large part to Sam Curran's form with bat and ball; the England all-rounder plundering 176 runs and taking 17 wickets, including a hat-trick.
However, last year's women's champions Southern Brave had a mare, losing six of their eight matches and failing to win at home as they missed out on the final for the first time in their history, having finished runners-up in 2021 and 2022.
