In match one we have the great team of Lancashire against the evil team of Worcester
Worcester reached 169 off their 20 overs

Is that the great team of Lancashire who Yorkshire beat this week in the 1st Division of the Championship (and in all likelihood condemned to relegation)

It's the great Lancashire team that better be looking for a new coach next year..

Wow .
Well done Worcestershire .
Got it right in the key phases of the game and deserved the win.
As a supporter I am surprised.
They usually bottle it in knockout rounds of limited overs competitions
All they have to do now is not bottle it in the final .

Hmmmmmmm .

Sussex meet Worcester in the final

Sussex opener Phillip Salt somehow got Run Out despite being entirely across the batting crease. He managed to have both feet and his bat in the air. Unbelievable

WOW

Worcestershire's young team seize the day.
To beat a test match hosting county and then beat a superb bowling opposition is a brilliant feat with a young, hungry, unheralded team.
Moeen Ali take a bow. I'm amazed and so delighted .

The 2020 T20 blast season sees it's first fixtures today.
Already 2 centuries have been scored, one from ex-England Test Match opener Keaton Jennings (60 balls), which was enough for Lancashire to record a 27 run victory over Durham, & the other from Middlesex's Max Holden (102 no 60 balls) against Essex with no result possible due to rain. Rain prevented any results in the matches between Kent & Hampshire & Gloucestershire & Northamptonshire.

Now Glamorgan v Worccestershire, Yorkshire v Nottingham, & Derby v Leicestershire all called off without a ball being bowled.

Joe Clarke brought up his 100 with a six as Notts chased down Durham's 181.

Yesterday other games - Glamorgan beat Gloucestershire, Northamptonshire beat Worcestershire, Middlesex (209-4) tied with Essex (209-5) & there was no result in the Liecestershire v Lancashire match where Tom Bailey took 5-17 in Lieicestershire's 150-9 total as Lancashire were unable to start their innings.

Yesterdays matches - Birminham beat Glamorgan (Cooke 72 Bresnan 3-33) by 6 wickets, Northamptonshire beat Spomerset by 9 runs Rossington 51, Yorkshire beat Derbyshire by 99 runs Root 64 Lyth 61, Surrey (143-6) tied with Essex (143-8), Sussex beat Hampshire by 6 wickets Briggs 3-17 Wright 82
