Hollman leads Middlesex to first List A final for 36 years

Middlesex secured their first List A final since 1990 with a two-wicket win over Durham in their One-Day Cup semi-final. Luke Hollman's unbeaten 83* proved crucial as the tailend responded to a shaky start, where Middlesex slumped to 145-7 after 30 overs. Tom Helm added 40 runs to the partnership, transforming the match's dynamics.

Colin Ackermann, who had earlier scored 71 unbeaten, took three quick wickets, including Nathan Fernandes for 44. Following Ackermann's three wickets, Luke Hollman contributed 3-53, including two caught and bowled, along with taking wickets of Will Rhodes and Naavya Sharma. Durham managed 254-7 in their 50 overs. The match will conclude with Middlesex facing Leicestershire at Trent Bridge on Sunday, 20 September.
