Hasan Ali and Danny Briggs bowled brilliantly in the middle overs and bagged 6 wickets amongst each other, picking 3 wickets apiece.
However, Adam Hose held one end and played a valuable knock of 51 runs off 36 balls but his innings went in vain as Worcestershire lost the match by a margin of 23 runs after being bowled out on 153.
W OH MY MY MY!!! How about that for the catch of the match? Fuller than a length outside the off and Finch tries to hack it down the ground. He miscues the stroke as the ball skews off the outside half towards the deep extra cover fielder who backpeddled and grabbed the ball with his right hand, caving into a one-handed stunner.
19.2 C Miles to K Shahzad
1 Length delivery into the batter, who miscues the pull towards deep cover for a solo.
19.1 C Miles to K Shahzad
0 Over the wicket, back of a length into the batter. Shahzad tries to heave across the line and is beaten on the inside edge.
