Worcestershire Rapids 169 – 6 (Moeen Ali 41, Ben Cox 55*; Matthew Parkinson 2-23)
Lancashire Lightning 149 - 9 (Keaton Jennings 51*; Pat Brown 4-21)
Result - Worcestershire Rapids won by 20 runs
Worcestershire Rapids got off to flying start with 37 off just 3 overs Moeen Ali 41 doing most of the damage. Then Lancashire Lightning hit back and at 97-6 it looked to have swung Lancashire Lightning’s way. However, Ben Cox 55* and Ed Barnard 28* put on 72 and took Worcestershire Rapids to an unlikely 169 – 6.
In reply, Lancashire Lightning looked in control of the run chase until Pat Brown came on to bowl taking 4-21 in his four overs and reducing Lancashire Lightning to 149-9. Moeen Ali 2-16 off his four overs was also outstanding.
