And with that, we're done.
Matt Henry's report of tonight's men's action is and we'll be back tomorrow when Oval Invincibles take on Southern Brave from 15:30 BST.
It was a better day for Manchester Originals' women, who beat Trent Rockets convincingly earlier in the day.
Until then.
Trent Rockets captain Lewis Gregory, speaking to Sky Sports: "We came in knowing it was must win, the boys were outstanding.
"We fought back well, restricted them to what is a gettable total here and did well in front of a full house.
On Rashid Khan, who took 3-16 and claimed three catches: "He has done well all over the world and to do what he has done with what has been going on at home has been very special and the boys are right behind him.
"You don’t get many opportunities to play in front of a crowd like that and I am proud of the boys tonight.
That win takes the Trent Rockets to second in the table, and they're all but guaranteed a spot in the Eliminator.
Match Hero Dawid Malan to Sky Sports: "I was really disappointed not to finish it off but having Samit there with his experience was great.
"We were behind in the first innings but Rashid Khan bowled a terrific spell and that gave us a total we could chase.
"It's a strange season - I'm either getting nought or getting runs, but I'm happy with another 50.
"We've got a great team spirit and the crowd here at Trent Bridge have been really behind us every time."

Dawid Malan very much the anchor for the Rockets in that innings.

You felt they were 10-15 runs short at the halfway stage, the Originals. The Rockets have been brilliant and clearly enjoy playing at Trent Bridge.

Well played, his team are now in a position to be comfortable with what they have to do now. Samit is still going well, and he has the responsibility to take them home.
