Foxes beat Notts to reach One-Day Cup final

In the One-Day Cup men's semi-final at Grace Road, Leicestershire defeated Notts Outlaws by 23 runs to secure their second final in four years. Shaikh scored a match-winning 104 off 109 balls, forming a crucial 117-run partnership with Kelly. Notts, aiming to reach their first home final since the List A decider moved to Trent Bridge, started strongly with Martindale and McCann but lost momentum after Martindale's dismissal.
