Match Details
It all got started earlier today when team Essex won the toss and decided to have a bat first. Essex's decision proved absolutely right. They lost their opener Josh Rymell at a score of 2 only, but even after this, they went up to a mammoth total of 341 runs. And in this both Feroze Khushi and their skipper Tom Westley played a pivotal role, as they scored 104 runs each and build a massive third-wicket partnership. After this, Grant Roelofsen came later to bat and played the role of pinch hitter by scoring 69 runs in just 55 deliveries with 8 fours and 1 biggie. Just after this, Essex's middle order started getting collapsed in the weirdest of manners. They might have added some runs on the board if they had played their full quota of 50 overs. Andrew Salter played a big role by taking 3 wickets.
After this, team Glamorgan came on for a chase and showed a great fighting spirit at the start of their innings, but later on, fell absolutely flat on the ground. Sam Northeast scored a brilliant 70 off 81 deliveries. In the end, Salter tried his best to contribute some amount of runs to the board, but in the end, he too gets bowled out. Luc Benkenstein showed an exemplary performance with the bowl and took 6 wickets.
With all this team, Glamorgan got bowled out on the score of just 238 runs while chasing.
