Worcestershire sealed a one-wicket win over Warwickshire: Friends Life Twenty20 - Second Innings Recap
Worcestershire had to chase down 185 runs in their allotted 20 overs after a solid batting performance by the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warwickshire-c862 batsmen.
The conditions remained batting friendly in the second half of the match and the visitors took full advantage of that.
However, they had some nervous moments in the middle, as they lost nine wickets in the match before finally reaching the target.
The Worcestershire innings was started by former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Moeen-Ali-c1990. The pair put together 32 runs for the first wicket, but the latter struggled to get going. He was unable to find the middle of his bat regularly and got dismissed
eventually after adding just six runs to the total.
The Netherlands’ opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World Cup 2011, was the next man to get dismissed. He failed to open his account and had to take a long walk back to the pavilion.
Solanki kept the scoreboard ticking, as he continued to play aggressive cricket. He was looking very dangerous and reached 33 runs in a very quick time, facing just 16 deliveries. However, the 17th ball he faced proved to be his last and the visitors lost
their opener with 52 runs on the board and three batsmen back in the hut.

Things got even worse when Bangladesh’s all-rounder, Shakib-Al-Hasan and the visitors’ captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Daryl-Mitchell-c52533 got out after adding 16 and 17 runs to the total respectively.
Worcestershire were in deep trouble at that stage of the game, losing six wicket for just 96 runs on the board. However, the run-rate was not a major issue for the team, as it was above 8.5 at that stage.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ben-Scott-c1140. The pair put together 38 runs for the seventh wicket partnership, giving some hope to their side. However, Scott failed to carry onto his innings and was dismissed
after scoring 18 runs from 10 deliveries.
Lower-order batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shaaiq-H-Choudhry-c89241, also gave some support to Andrew and was involved in a 43-run stand for the eighth wicket. He got out on the last ball of the 18th over after adding 10 runs to the total.
One more wicket fell after that, but Andrew remained calm and collective, guiding his team to a magnificent victory. He remained unbeaten on 65 from just 32 balls, clobbering four fours and the same number of sixes.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Steffan-Andreas-Piolet-c91003 took three wickets for the hosts, but his effort went in vain in the end.
