In the ongoing Friends Life t20 tournament, Yorkshire won their quarterfinal match against Worcestershire by 29 runs on Wednesday, July 25, at Headingley, Leeds.
Yorkshire, on winning the toss, chose to bat first and amassed a staggering total of 212 runs, with their batsmen outplaying their opposition.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Miller-c1300 (50) and GS Ballance (46) were the top batsmen from their side, as they played an important role in taking their team towards a stupendous total in 20 overs.
Needing 213 runs to win the match, Worcestershire required a steady start to their innings, but were left weeping at the demise of their first wicket on a score of just 16, as opener VS Solanki perished after scoring only a run.
Then with 20 runs on the scoreboard, the fielding side struck for the second time as they neutralized MM Ali on a knock of 17 runs.
It was then time for PJ Hughes and JG Cameron to take charge as the two batsmen stood tall and hammered the bowlers with zeal and fierce momentum.
Finally with 95 runs on the board, Yorkshire broke the partnership by dismissing Cameron, who fell after scoring a knock of 29 runs.
Hughes was then joined by GM Andrew and the two forged another resounding partnership, leaving the bowlers in complete disarray and disgust.
This duo was extremely dangerous for Yorkshire, as it was imperative for them to break the partnership before it was too late for them to halt the batting side from reaching the required target.
Yorkshire struck in the 16th over by grabbing the wicket of Andrew, who faltered after jabbing an innings of 27 runs, leaving his team standing on a total of 143.
Skipper, DKH http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mitchell-c76390, was then removed after scoring 11 runs, leaving his team on a tally of 165, followed by the wicket of A Kapil, who faltered after scoring four runs, with the team on a total of 180 runs.
The side, however, failed to reach the required target, as they could muster 183 runs with Hughes unbeaten on an emphatic knock of 80 runs.
Root was named as the Player of the Match.
