Chasing 191, Worcestershire lost Brett D'Oliveira early. Kashif Ali and Ed Pollock got out cheaply too after playing some shots.
Gareth Roderick and Ethan Brookes steadied the ship for their side with cameos but they could not convert their starts into a big score and got out as well. As a result, they were reeling at 121-6 at one stage.
Tom Hinley and Ben Dwarshuis hit some late lusty blows to keep their hopes alive but Ben Sanderson came back into the attack and won the game for his side as he bagged a hat-trick and ended the game with a 6-wicket haul to his name.
W HAT-TRICK!!!! Sanderson gets a hat-trick to his name and wins the game for his side with a 6-wicket haul. Northamptonshire win the match by a margin of 31 runs. Bowls it on a length outside off, Duffy gets a thin outside edge to the keeper.
W WICKETTTT!! Sanderson gets a 5-wicket haul to his name. Bangs it short and outside off, Finch looks to go over mid off, holes out to the fielder who back tracks and takes it. 2 wickets in 2 balls. Sanderson is on a hat-trick!
