Worcestershire Beat Hampshire To Win Rain-Shortened One-Day Cup Final

The win delivered Worcestershire's first trophy in seven years, dedicated to the late Josh Baker.

Overview

  • Worcestershire won by three wickets with two balls to spare under DLS, chasing a revised 188 from 27 overs at Trent Bridge.
  • Needing 13 off the final over, Matthew Waite struck a six before Henry Cullen sealed victory with a boundary after Kyle Abbott stepped on the rope.
  • Hampshire posted 237-7 from 45 overs after rain interruptions, anchored by Ali Orr's century.
  • Scott Currie, released from England's T20 squad to play, took a career-best 5-34 including three wickets in the penultimate over.
  • The triumph came three days after Worcestershire's relegation from Division One, while Hampshire suffered a second straight final defeat and now face a red-ball survival fight.
