1:50 AM IST: Worcestershire start the T20 season fresh with a 15 run win against the struggling Northamptonshire team after a dominating performance at Northampton. Worcs elected to bat first and put a decent total of 196/9 in their 20 overs on the back of Adam Hose's 61 in 40 balls. Tom Taylor and Andrew Tye shared 5 wickets between them for the Northants.
The chase begun on a bright note for the hosts as the experienced Chris Lynn (28) added 50 runs in no time with Ricardo Vasconcelos (32 off 20). The pair was broken straight after with Lynn departing to Mitchell Stanley (1/17).
Skipper David Willey promoted himself at number 3 and scored 36 in 24 balls with 2 fours and 2 sixes. The middle order crumbled as 3 batters failed to score in double digits. It was Taylor who stepped up with the bat as well scoring an unbeaten 44 in 26 balls with 4 fours and a maximum.
His effort wasn't enough as the hosts couldn't build partnerships. The leg spinning duo of Usama Mir (3/21) and Brett D'Oliveira (3/28) were the pick of the bowlers for Worcestershire. Stanley and Pat Brown both got a wicket each. Michael Bracewell and Adam Finch were both wicketless and costly.
