Worcestershire win by 6 wickets
I thought we had no chance of winning this match when they managed to pile on 206 due to my lack of a fifth bowling option, but we smashed their bowling to submission in winning our first T20 game of the season. Rankin started off beautifully with 3 early wickets, but Oram was very stubborn, and with support from the lower middle order, he was able to smash the part time bowlers around, as well as take quite a few runs off Ireland and Rankin. Mitchell and O'Brien were up to the challenge however, and looked in great form as they scored half centuries at a strike rate of 200 or more. Mitchell's 88 came off just 44 balls, while O'Brien's 61 came off a scarcely believable 26 balls. Solanki, Aimson and Kervezee were able to keep the momentum up, with none of the Northamptonshire bowlers spared, as they all went for over 10 an over. Aimson finished the match off with a 6 to emphasise how effective our batting was in this match. This win moves us up one place to 8th, but the 9th placed team has played a match less than us and have a far greater NRR. Still a great match and hopefully we can keep up this momentum.
