Phoenix put a dent in Pembroke's title charge, with a resounding win at Sydney Parade.

The home side were blown away by a five-wicket haul for Oliver Hald as they slumped to 37 for 6.

Lorcan Tucker (38) and Theo Lawson (37) led a recovery with a 7th wicket stand of 76, but two wickets apiece for Ben White and Theo Dempsey saw them 128 all out.

Nick Stapleton took three wickets to leave Phoenix on 30 for 3, but an unbroken fourth wicket partnership of 99 between Irish internationals George Dockrell (49*) and Tyrone Kane (48*) sealed the 7-wicket victory in the 27th over.
