Worcestershire Rapids continued their strong start to their defence of the Metro Bank One-Day Cup with a thrilling four-run victory over Hampshire at Worcester.
In a clash between last year’s finalists, The Rapids amassed 307 for eight thanks to Henry Cullen (72 from 56 balls), Kashif Ali (65, 63) and Dan Lategan 64 (75). Harry Petrie and James Fuller took two wickets apiece.
Hampshire fell just short on 303 all out from 49.4 overs despite Tom Prest’s 70 (55), Nick Gubbins’ 57 (69) and a thunderous late 22-ball 48 from Andrew Neal.
All five Rapids bowlers took wickets to maintain their side’s 100 per cent record in the group and leave Hampshire nursing successive defeats to follow their opening-game win at Scarborough.
