2012 Friends Life T20: Nottinghamshire vs. Yorkshire – Match Update – Voges’ 70 in vain, as Yorkshire secure quarter-final berth
Phil Jaques' unbeaten 58 outshined Adam Voges’ 57-ball 70, as Yorkshire confirmed a spot in the 2012 Friends Life T20 quarter-finals with a six-wicket win over Nottinghamshire in a North Group clash, at Trent Bridge, Nottingham on Thursday, July 5, 2012.
Set to chase an average target of 149 to win, the tourists reached the victory line quite comfortably in the 18th over, with six wickets and 14 balls to spare, courtesy a solid performance from the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Phil-Jaques-c2182-led top order.
Openers http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Steven-Mullaney-c2584 provided the hosts their first breakthrough in the seventh over, when he had Lyth caught by Samit Patel. He scored 33 runs
off 21 deliveries, including five boundaries and a six.

http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Samit-Patel-c2426, in the 12th over.
The next two overs saw http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Gary-Ballance-c1465 and Phil Jaques ensured the tourists did not lose another wicket and took the side home in the 18th
over, with Ballance looting Graeme White for two successive sixes. Jaques returned unbeaten on 58, off 47 balls, while Ballance played a blistering cameo of 26 runs, which came off just 13 deliveries.
Earlier, after opting to bat first, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nottinghamshire-c826 batting line-up collapsed miserably against the Azeem Rafiq-led Yorkshire attack. Skipper Adam Voges was the only saving grace with a 57-ball 70, while the rest of the batsmen fell for scores inside
20, as the side could post an average total of 148 for 6 in their allotted quota of 20 overs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rich-Pyrah-c2311 played key role in restricting the Notts, conceding only 41 runs from their combined eight overs, and sharing two wickets as well.
