T20 Blast | North Group | Daily Roundup, June 23

Worcestershire v/s Yorkshire


Result: Yorkshire won by five wickets


Yorkshire Vikings kept their quarter-finals hopes alive by thrashing a hapless Worcestershire Rapids side. Riding on Tom Kohler-Cadmore’s unbeaten 46 and cameos from Harry Brook and Adam Lyth, the Vikings chased down Rapids’ target in just 14.4 overs.


Worcestershire, who now have one win from eleven matches, were invited to bat by Vikings’ skipper Brook. Their batters huffed and puffed to put an under-par total on the board. Dominic Bess registered his career-best T20 figures to restrict Worcestershire to 150/5.


In reply, Yorkshire made a mockery of the target. First, Adam Lyth scored 29 off 11 deliveries, with two fours and three sixes. Then, Cadmore and Brook shared a 56-run partnership to kill the chase. Cadmore’s 46 was studded with three fours and an equal number of sixes.


Brief Scores: Yorkshire 151/5 in 14.4 overs (Tom Kohler-Cadmore 46*, Harry Brook 35) defeated Worcestershire 150/5 in 20 overs (Kashif Ali 46*, Dominic Bess 3/15) by five wickets


Nottinghamshire v/s Derbyshire 


Result: Nottinghamshire won by 94 runs


Nottinghamshire Outlaws ended Derbyshire Falcons’ five-match winning streak with a thumping 94-run victory. The Outlaws posted their highest total of 247/6 on board to lay the foundation of their consolation win.


The Falcons won the toss and chose to field. Alex Hales (55 off 23 balls) initiated the run-fest brilliantly, with the team racing off to 86/1 after the Powerplay overs. Hales’ knock included eight fours and three sixes.


Once the first wicket of Joe Clarke (38 off 17) fell on 68, Ben Duckett joined to take a full toll on the Falcons’ bowling. Duckett (63 off 38 balls) and Steven Mullaney (45 off 20) continued the merry run on a good batting surface.


Chasing a humongous total, Derbyshire’s innings went nowhere. Zak Chappell and Samit Patel took three wickets apiece for the Outlaws to restrict Derbyshire to 153/9.


Brief Scores: Nottinghamshire 247/6 in 20 overs (Ben Duckett 63, Alex Hales 55, Steven Mullaney 45) defeated Derbyshire 153/9 in 20 overs (Brooke Guest 40, Zak Chappell 28/3, Samit Patel 32/3) by 94 runs


Lancashire v/s Durham


Result: Match Abandoned due to rain


The match between Lancashire Lightning and Durham got washed off due to persistent rain. Lancashire 133/6 in 17.4 overs before the rain gods opened up, leading to the abandonment. 


Brief Scores: Lancashire 133/6 in 17.4 overs (Steven Croft 52*) v/s Durham

ENG v NZ | Watch - Henry Nicholls falls to Jack Leach in a bizarre turn of events

'When it rains, it pours' - New Zealand cricket team and especially left-handed batsman Henry Nicholls learned it the hard way on the first afternoon of the Leeds Test after Jack Leach dismissed the southpaw through one of the most bizarre dismissals in the history of this sport. It all happened on the 2nd delivery of the 56th over of BlackCaps innings when Nicholls shimmied down the track to drill a full-delivery from the left-arm orthodox straight down the ground. The only problem was that non-striker Daryll Mitchell could not get his bat out of the way. So the ball proceeded to hit the sweet spot of his bat, lobbed over umpire Richard Kettlebrough, who tried to get out of the way, before landing safely into Alex Lees' hands at mid-off, leaving everyone stunned. Watch Henry Nicholls' bizarre dismissal here: Nicholls' freakish dismissal pretty much summed up New Zealand's fortunes in the 2nd session and the tour in general as the reigning WTC champions succumbed to 123/5. England bowlers continued the good work they had done in the morning session as they played on New Zealand batters' patience via disciplined line and lengths. They ultimately reaped its reward as Devon Conway (26 off 62 deliveries) ran out of patience and chased a wide one from Jamie Overton to give the pacer his maiden Test wicket. The in-form Mitchell added another 40 runs with Nicholls, who stroked just 1 four during his 99-ball 19 in just over 22 overs. Mitchell is currently batting on 27, and once again, the onus will be on him and keeper Tom Blundell to dig their team out of the hole when play resumes after Tea. The duo have done it twice this series, and the Kiwis will hope they repeat the same here as they battle to save themselves from the ignominy of a 0-3 whitewash.
