James Fuller saw Hampshire to a narrow three-wicket victory over Middlesex.
The Hawks were chasing 188 after Stephen Eskinazi's 48-ball 94 saw hosts Middlesex post 187 for nine.
The opener struck three sixes and 12 fours as Max Holden added 33.
Hampshire needed 10 off the last over and Fuller came up trumps, hitting back-to-back fours to finish 43 not out.
Kent edged a two-wicket win over Sussex at Hove with just three balls to spare.
Nathan Gilchrist's four for 42 restricted Sussex to 148 all out and Joey Evison's unbeaten 48 from 24 balls at the back end of the innings saw Kent over the line in the final over.
North Group leaders Lancashire suffered a rare defeat as Warwickshire won by 36 runs at Edgbaston.
Ed Barnard hit a 34-ball 54 to help the Bears to 203 for nine in their 20 overs and then George Garton took four for 28 as Lancashire were bowled out for 167, with Rob Yates taking a stunning outfield catch to dismiss Phil Salt.
