Grace Harris powered London Spirit to a winning total before bottom side Birmingham Phoenix collapsed to end their season without a win.

The Australian made the most of some ill-disciplined Phoenix bowling to hit 87 from 47 balls as Spirit posted 172-5 at Edgbaston.

Phoenix made a quick start to their reply but crumbled from 31-1 to 99 all out after 76 balls to lose by 73 runs.

Leg-spinner Amelia Kerr took 4-13 and was the pick of the Spirit bowlers.

Spirit’s second win of the tournament lifts them above Manchester Originals into sixth on net run-rate.

Phoenix finish five points adrift, with their only point of the campaign coming from a match abandoned because of rain.
