Hants stun holders Glamorgan as One-Day Cup begins

Holders Glamorgan lost to Hampshire in the first day of the One-Day Cup campaign to a crushing defeat.

In the final over, Hampshire defeated the reigning champions by 72 runs after Nick Gubbins had earlier batted through to make 144 not out in their 324-6, but Kiran Carlson’s 135 was bowled out for 252.

Tom Moores, who scored 148 runs off only 93 balls in Nottinghamshire’s 283-9 DLS victory over Essex, overpowered that.

Will Rhodes’ superb all-round performance saw his team defeat Sussex by 51 runs to take the record of 96.

Ollie Price’s 103-run victory over Derbyshire Falcons provided a strong start for Gloucestershire.

Ben Cliff’s 5-46 in a 137-run victory over Warwickshire earned the hosts five wickets.

The 18 counties will be divided into two groups of nine for the fifth consecutive year, but not on a geographic basis, as is the T20 Blast.

Each team will play eight group games, four at home and four away, between now and August 26.

The group winners advance to a home semi-final, while the second-placed team will host the third-place team in a play-off on August 28 for the right to compete in the semis on August 31.

On Saturday, September 20, the final is scheduled to take place once more at Trent Bridge.

As the Hundred and this competition are played concurrently, the sides are made up of Championship regulars and emerging players who are interested in first-team cricket, while many counties play at away games at larger venues that are otherwise indisposed.

Groupe A: Leicestershire Foxes, Nottinghamshire Outlaws, Surrey, Worcestershire, Essex, Glamorgan, Gloucestershire, Hampshire,

In order to set up the innings, they introduced Hampshire and watched Gubbins set up the innings with a career-best List A score.

With a debut 74 from 17-year-old wicketkeeper Ben Mayes, he posted 141, and Felix Organ’s 32-ball cameo put the total well past 300.

Carlson, the skipper of Glamorgan, recorded his maiden century with a blistering 135 off 92 balls, which included 10 sixes.

However, as Hampshire kept picking up wickets, Alex Horton’s 35 was the next best score and the lowest partnership was only 52.

Gloucestershire’s attempt to defend their T20 Blast title ended shakily, but their One-Day Cup campaign in Cheltenham began well against Derbyshire.

James Bracey (83), Ben Charlesworth (60), and captain Jack Taylor (67) all completed the 103-run innings to start a series that was ultimately 341-8.

In the 28th over, Derbyshire fell to 1522-4 before a score of 76 between captain Brooke Guest, who had scored 86, and 40-year-old Amrit Basra, who had revived their hopes.

However, Zaman Akhter took four wickets in three overs to clinch the victory. Derbyshire were bowled out for 282 by him, and he came to an end with 4-47.

In a 10-over spell of 4-29, Essex’s Jamie Porter reduced Nottinghamshire to 41-4 in the contest at Nettleworth.

However, Moores and Australia’s Daniel Sams (45) combined for 137 for the sixth wicket, with Moores almost twice exceeding his previous highest score of 76.

Notts’ innings were reduced to 46 overs by the rain, and Essex received a 286 target on the same time.

As Cliff caused the majority of the damage, Bess put the visitors in and reduced them to 38-7 and then to 73-9.

On his List A debut, wicketkeeper Vansh Jani hit 82 and added 64 for the final wicket while Ollie Hannon-Dalby added one as the Bears were all out for 137 in the 37th over.

In the 21st over, the hosts fell to 72-4, but Imam-ul-Haq, a Pakistan international, managed to hold the lead with 55 and shared a 56-run partnership with George Hill before Harry Duke, who had 17.1 overs to go, scored the winning runs.

In Durham’s victory, Rhodes, who played in Gosforth, was the star of the show.

As the hosts posted 310-7 off their 50 overs, he scored 96 and Ollie Robinson hit exactly 100 from 79 balls.

Despite scoring 74 from Danny Lamb and 44 from Fynn Hudson-Prentice, Sussex fell to 86-4 after taking four wickets in the opening 20 overs.

With Oli Carter and Lamb had scored 84 for the sixth wicket, but Rhodes’ inspiring spell began with a 38-run dismissal.

As Sussex were all out for 259 with 46.3 overs, he took each of the final five wickets to record his first List-A five-wicket haul.

After their match didn’t even begin, Lancashire and Northamptonshire each take two points.

After a second inspection, the umpires called it off at 14:45 BST because the ground was severely damaged by the storm Floris from Monday.
