Brave won by six wickets
Teenager Tilly Corteen-Coleman claimed 4-13 as Southern Brave moved top of The Hundred standings with a six-wicket victory over Trent Rockets.
The 17-year-old left-arm spinner helped reduce the Rockets to 55-8 before Kirstie Gordons battling 32 from 27 boosted their total to 106.
Corteen-Colemans victims included England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt as she finished with her best figures in her 12th match of the tournament.
England seamer Lauren Bell was also in the wickets as she snared an impressive 3-16 from her 20 balls to extend her lead as the top wicket-taker in this years competition.
Brave had a bit of top-order wobble at the start of the chase at 10-2 when Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Laura Wolvaardt departed for four and one respectively.
Maia Bouchier steadied the ship with 42 off 30 balls in a 69-run stand with Sophie Devine, only to be stumped after dancing down the pitch to Aussie all-rounder Alana King.
Some tight bowling from Ash Gardner, Heather Graham and King ensured the game went down to the final set of five balls but Devines unbeaten 41 ensured Brave got home with two balls to spare.
Brave are now four points clear of second-placed Northern Superchargers at the top of the table on 16 points while the Rockets remain in sixth.
