Nottinghamshire Outlaws grabbed a narrow and thrilling victory over Leicestershire Foxes, winning by one wicket with one ball to spare, on a day which saw Durham, Derbyshire and Worcestershire all post wins in T20 Blast North Group.<\/b><\/p>\n
Durham defended a big total, Derbyshire chased one down and Northants’ slide continued, this time at the hands of Worcestershire.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, in the South Group, Essex claimed their first win in a rain-affected game with Surrey, while Somerset, Gloucestershire and Glamorgan were also victorious.<\/p>\n
But the prize for the most nerve-racking finish went to Trent Bridge. <\/p>\n
After visitors Leicestershire<\/b> had posted 188-2 from 20 overs, with half-centuries from Rishi Patel (51) and Sol Budinger (56), Nottinghamshire<\/b> had looked in control of the chase after 50 from Joe Clarke and a gutsy cameo from Tom Moores (42). <\/p>\n
But the loss of Moores for the seventh wicket saw the game tighten with 10 still needed from 14 balls and prompted a late wobble.<\/p>\n
Needing five for the win and four for a tie from the final over, three singles then a wicket brought last man Farhan Ahmed to the crease with two needed from two balls.<\/p>\n
His hit out to the cover boundary was gathered by his brother Rehan but with Farhan gambling on a second the throw came in just too late to prevent Notts getting home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nottinghamshire Outlaws grabbed a narrow and thrilling victory over Leicestershire Foxes, winning by one wicket with one ball…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":243686,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[1406,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-244652","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114810673466126706","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244652","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244652"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244652\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
