Notts Outlaws kept their hopes of completing a hat-trick of Barbados T20 Cup successes alive with a win over Birmingham Bears at the 3Ws Oval.

The Outlaws totalled 188-3 after being inserted, before completing a 57 run victory by restricting the Bears to 131 for five.

Steven Mullaney was the star of the show for Notts, making 116 from 65 balls, an innings that included 13 fours and five sixes. He shared in a stand of 128 in 13 overs for the second wicket with Riki Wessels, who made 45.

Earlier Greg Smith had made a run-a-ball 19, as fifty runs came in the six over powerplay.

Laurie Evans finished with an unbeaten 61 for the Bears, but the contest was effectively over long before he began to open his shoulders. At one stage 150 were still required from the closing 11 overs.

Samit Patel bowled a miserly four overs, taking two for 19. Luke Fletcher and Jake Ball took the other wickets to fall.
