So, that also brings an end to our coverage of this game between Leicestershire and Worcestershire. For now, this is me Hiren Kumar signing off on behalf of my scorer/analyst Chandan Kr Singh. CHEERS!!!
21:51 IST and 17:21 Local Time: Phew! What a game we have witnessed. Leicestershire win by 4 runs and that some quality death bowling to defend this one.
Opting to bowl first, Worcestershire were brilliant with the new ball and did a good enough job to restrict the Foxes to a total of 176. Adam Finch and Nathan Smith were the pick of the bowlers and picked up 3 wickets each. They were a bit expensive in the death and that in the end cost them the game.
Coming to the chase, the Foxes made sure they had the momentum. They were expensive in the powerplay and failed to pick up wickets with the new ball but were then outstanding in the middle and death overs. Rehan Ahmed's 2/27 in his 4 overs was a game changing spell. Sam Currie was also outstanding in the death and picked up 2 wickets. Also credit to Josh Hull, who successfully defended 12 runs in the last over.
