Marizanne Kapp hit an unbeaten 64 as Oval Invincibles beat bottom side Birmingham Phoenix in The Hundred.
The South Africa all-rounder combined with Lauren Winfield-Hill for a fourth-wicket partnership of 59.
Chasing 143 to win at Edgbaston, opener Suzie Devine put Phoenix within reach by hitting 53 from 34 balls.
But after she fell to Ryana MacDonald-Gay the Phoenix effort stalled, leaving them 10 runs short of their target and still winless after five matches.
