Saturday night’s triumph over Hampshire<\/a>, then conceded 23 runs off his last two overs to take the visitors beyond 300.<\/p>\nBut two of that Northants quartet – Ricardo Vasconcelos and captain Nathan McSweeney – hit half-centuries as the Steelbacks made a confident assault on the 313 needed.<\/p>\n
The pair put on 65 before Vasconcelos was run out for 64 but George Bartlett’s attacking 72 off 63 balls ensured momentum never dropped.<\/p>\n
Wicketkeeper Lewis McManus (27 off 19 balls) and Aadi Sharma (14 off 12) powered Northants home with five wickets and eight deliveries to spare. <\/p>\n
Elsewhere in Group A, despite being without 17 players because of Hundred commitments, Surrey’s squad depth was again evident in their seven-wicket win against Lancashire.<\/p>\n
Michael Jones’ run-a-minute, unbeaten 67 provided the third half-century in the Red Rose’s 280-5, with others from Keaton Jennings (64) and Australia’s Marcus Harris (60).<\/p>\n
But Surrey made an excellent start with Dom Sibley (65) and Ryan Patel (58) sharing a century stand for the first wicket before 20-year-old Adam Thomas’ unbeaten 82, and wicketkeeper Josh Blake’s belligerent 59 off 38 balls, secured a comfortable seven-wicket win.<\/p>\n
Somerset opener Savin Perera celebrated signing his first professional contract a few days earlier with a composed half-century as he and Tom Lammonby helped them to 258-9 against Nottinghamshire.<\/p>\n
With Lammonby eight runs away from a century with more than eight overs remaining, hopes of a total near 300 were high but when he perished for 92, Joe Pocklington (3-58) limited any late acceleration as Somerset lost 5-54 off 53 balls.<\/p>\n
That burst was to prove vital as Freddie McCann’s composed 70 and Haseeb Hameed’s 66 meant a late wobble triggered by Migael Pretorius (4-41) was in vain as Notts got home by four wickets on 259-6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three days after being crowned T20 Blast champions, Northamptonshire got their One-Day Cup campaign off to a winning…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":704211,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-704210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/704210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=704210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/704210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/704211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=704210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=704210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=704210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
