A chaotically entertaining game characterised by batting that was either sensational or – more frequently – shambolic was settled by Daryl Mitchell’s ability to find serenity amid the calamity.
Mitchell’s sober 78 not out, most notably assisted by Michael Bracewell (51), took a side floundering at 24 for three in pursuit of a superficially straightforward target and set them on the path to victory, wrapped up by four wickets and with 13.2 overs to spare.
