Adam Hose's 50 Fires Worcestershire to Victory
Worcestershire have won by 27 runs. Worcestershire batted first and posted 168/8 in 20 overs. Glamorgan, chasing 169, fell short at 141/10 in 19.3 overs.
Adam Hose was the standout in the first innings, scoring 50 off 31 balls (SR 161). 3 sixes and 3 fours provided the impetus. The powerplay yielded 42 runs — early wickets put them under pressure from the start.
Kiran Carlson fought hard with 35 off 24 balls, but it was not enough to haul Glamorgan over the line. The required rate climbed too steeply in the end.
With the ball, Sikandar Raza delivered figures of 4/17 in 4 overs (Econ 4.3). A match-defining spell that tore through the batting order.
GLA lead the series 51-3. The pressure is firmly on the chasing side now.
The Turning Point
Over 19 of the first innings was the inflection point — 17 runs came off it, shifting the momentum and setting the stage for a total that ultimately proved too much.
