The Brave leapfrogged Welsh Fire into third place in the table with their fourth win from eight games, one which also included a calm 54 off 40 balls from unbeaten New Zealand opener Devon Conway.
Tymal Mills' deceptive leftarm was perfect for this used, pace off pitch. He returned three for 27 from 20 balls, and his tally of 15 wickets is now more than anyone else in the competition.
Brave, who won with five balls to spare, remain on course to reclaim the title they won in 2021 the Hundred's inaugural year and they will face last year's finalists Manchester at the Oval on Saturday evening.
The winners face the Oval Invincibles in the Lord's final 24 hours later.
Manchester were all but qualified in second place before a ball was bowled. Brave needed to chase their target in 50 balls to knock them out.
England limited overs captain Jos Buttler top-scored 45 off 42 for the Originals, who made 130 for eight and were never able to break free having been inserted.
