Overview

  • Leicestershire posted 312-5 at Grace Road as Rishi Patel made 94 and Lewis Hill 93 in a 166-run stand for the second wicket.
  • Derbyshire’s reply began with an 81-run opening stand, with Harry Came top-scoring on 67 and support from Matthew Montgomery and Anuj Dal.
  • Chasing 14 off the final over, Zak Chappell struck six, two and four, then a wide leveled the scores before two dots set up the last-ball drama.
  • Chappell, on 49 off 37, missed the final delivery, tripped on his dropped bat attempting a leg-bye, and was run out to leave the match tied.
  • The result leaves Leicestershire and Derbyshire sixth and seventh in Group A, and it is the second tied game of this One-Day Cup season.
