Worcestershire v Glamorgan: Cooke and Wagg star for visitors
- Published
Friends Life t20, Worcester |
Glamorgan 159-4 (14 overs) beat Worcestershire 102-9 (14 overs) by 58 runs (D/L) |
Glamorgan eased to a comfortable 58-run FL t20 victory as Worcestershire lost heavily on their own turf at New Road.
Chris Cooke smacked 57 off 27 balls as Glamorgan made light of a rain break to run up 159-4 from their 14 overs.
Worcestershire started well, hitting 30 in three overs, but were destroyed by a burst of three wickets in four balls from Warwickshire old boy Graham Wagg.
Wagg ended up with 5-14 as the hosts, chasing a revised target of 161, were limited to 102-9.
That eclipsed Ryan Watkins's 5-16 against Gloucestershire at Sophia Gardens four years ago as the best figures by a Glamorgan bowler in 11 seasons of Twenty20 cricket.
After collapsing from 36-0 to 54-7, Ben Cox came in at the end to hit a brisk 27 off 22 balls.
But it was far too little, too late for Worcestershire, who now face a quick chance to bounce back when they take on Gloucestershire at Bristol on Sunday.
