The game at Headingley saw both sides score at run-rates in excess of 9. Derbyshire Phantoms batted first, with Jonathan Moss notching up 83 off 44 balls, and England Test bowler Matthew Hoggard was hit for 45 runs in three overs. Tim Bresnan, however, doubled his wicket count in the short format this season, as he took three for 26 in four overs. In reply, Yorkshire Phoenix reaped the benefits of a 124-run partnership between Australians Ian Harvey (who made 109, the first Twenty20 century of the season) and Phil Jaques. Michael Lumb and Bresnan then kept the run rate up, and Yorkshire reached 198 for 4 with an over left in the game to clinch victory.
