2012 Friends Life T20: Durham vs Nottinghamshire – Clinical bowling performance takes Outlaws home – Match Update
A clinical bowling performance from Andy Carter-led http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nottinghamshire-c826 bowling attack helped them clinch a seven-wicket win over Durham in a Friends Life T20 encounter at Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street, on Sunday, June 17.
Four of the five Notts bowlers conceived runs at an economy rate of less than a-run-a-ball, to restrict the hosts to a meagre total of 114 for five in their stipulated 20 overs. The Outlaws chased down the paltry total quite comfortably with seven wickets
and 3.4 overs to spare.
After being put into bat, the Dynamos got off to a dreadful start and struggled to reach three-figures, was it not for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HH-Gibbs-c1549 (2), on the first ball of the third over, with only
9 on board.
An over later, Gibbs’ opening partner, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dale-Benkenstein-c1302 (5) respectively,
to leave the Dynamos reeling at 30 for 4 in the eighth over.
At this stage, Durham were desperate for a big partnership, and that is when Myburgh showed some initiative. The 31-year-old former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Hampshire-c789 player, who joined the Dynamos on Thursday for the Flt20 campaign, did well with with a flurry of sweetly timed
boundaries (five of the total seven boundaries struck by the home side). The Transvaal-born right-hander shared a half-century stand with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Durham-c782 Dynamos recovered from 30 for 4.
The partnership was worth 60 when Gurney had Myburgh caught by Mullaney in the 17th over, on 45. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Scott-Borthwick-c2466 scored 17 runs from 12 balls to take the hosts to 114 for 5 by the end of their quota of 20 overs.
Set to chase a paltry 115 to win, openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Lumb-c1981 took the outlaws more than halfway there, sharing an opening stand of 62 runs from nine overs. Hales departed on the penultimate ball of the ninth over, after being stumped by Mustard
off Borthwick. In the next over, Wessels holed out on four, also stumped out but this time off http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Onions-c1449.
However, the two quick wickets could not derail Nottinghamshire’s successful chase, as the Outlaws reached their target in the 17th over, with seven wickets to spare.
