The match came down to a tense final phase where Fire needed 17 runs off the last 15 balls but could only add 10 runs to their total.

Chase Turns Sour for Fire

With the target within reach, Fire were unable to find the required momentum in the closing overs. The required rate stayed manageable until the final few deliveries, yet the batters managed just 10 runs in that spell.

This outcome meant Fire missed out on what would have been their fifth win of the season.

Spirit Hold Nerve to Win

Spirit defended the total successfully and secured a consolation win. The result came after Fire had positioned themselves for a possible victory with 17 needed from 15 balls.

Needing 17 off 15, Fire manage only 10 to miss out on fifth win of season.

The narrow margin highlighted how small margins decided the contest in the closing stages.

Key Moments in the Pursuit

• Fire entered the final 15 balls requiring 17 runs.
• Only 10 runs were scored in those 15 balls.
• Spirit completed the defence of their total.

The result leaves Fire one win short of the fifth victory they were chasing in the season.

Spirit, on the other hand, took the points from the fixture after restricting the scoring in the death overs.
