With the chase set at 146, the Mud Dogs went on to wrap up the match with six wickets in hand and just under three overs to spare.
Coming in at fourth, Nolan finished on 24 from 28 deliveries, including a four and a six.
He was bowled via a Jedd Wright delivery, who was perhaps seeking revenge after Nolan dismissed Wright the exact same way earlier in the day.
Nolan’s teammates Layton McCann (40) and Joel Brett (32) also performed with the bat.
