The Royal London One Day Cup 2015
Hampshire returned to winning ways in Group B of
the Royal London Cup with a 23-run Duckworth-Lewis
victory over Warwickshire in a rain-damaged contest at
Edgbaston.
Comfortably beaten by Essex the previous day,
Hampshire responded by compiling a meaty 280 for 7
built around a century stand by Dawson and Smith.
They then reduced the home side to 4 for 2 and
those early wickets proved crucial by cranking the
Duckworth-Lewis equation right up when rain came.
Facing a thrice-amended target of 208 from 31
overs, Warwickshire, resuming on 101 for 2 from 26.1
had to go for broke and Dawson took advantage,
completing his excellent day with 3 for 34.
The win gave Hampshire a big step towards the
quarter-finals but defeat for the Bears halted their
momentum from successive wins and leaves them
needing to win both remaining games, at home to
Sussex and Kent, to qualify.
Put in, Hampshire raced to 50 in 50 balls thanks to
Carberry who sped to 33 from 22 balls before nicking
Hannon-Dalby to wicketkeeper Ambrose.
After Wheater was run out by Porterfield’s direct
hit, Hannon-Dalby, fresh from taking 5 for 27 against
Glamorgan on Monday, collected his seventh wicket in
three days with a superb leg-cutter edged by Vince.
Adams’s anchor role ended when he lifted a drive
at Patel and fell to a fine catch by Porterfield.
That was 94 for 4 but Dawson, with his third half-
century in four RLC innings, and Smith added 123 in 22
overs before both were caught in the deep. Berg and
Wood added useful late runs to leave Warwickshire a
tough target.
The total looked even more difficult after Wood
removed Porterfield, caught at point, and Trott, lbw
offering no stroke, with the second and third balls of his
first over. Chopra and Ambrose added 77 in 14 overs
before the latter, having moved to 41, ran himself out.
A succession of showers then saw the target
tweaked and re-tweaked after which Warwickshire
simply had to take too many risks. Dawson had Chopra
stumped and Javid caught at short third man before
Evans charged at him and missed, was bowled and
with him went Warwickshire’s victory hopes.
