Middlesex win One Day Cup final after Horley ton
Saskia Horley hits a century and takes four wickets as Middlesex beat Glamorgan in the One Day Cup League Two final in Bristol.
In a thrilling encounter, Middlesex emerged victorious in the Metro Bank Women's One Day Cup League Two final, securing a commanding 67-run win against Glamorgan at Bristol. Captain Saskia Horley played a pivotal role, scoring an impressive century off 86 balls, with 13 boundaries, while her partnership with Finty Trussler contributed significantly to the innings total.
Trussler, in addition to her own half-century, played an instrumental role in helping Middlesex post a formidable total of 278-6. Bethan Gammon led the charge for Glamorgan with a well-fought 58, but their efforts were in vain as they were all out for 211. The Welsh team's performance was hampered by some sloppy fielding, with multiple dropped catches and a missed stumping providing Middlesex the edge.
Middlesex's bowlers, led by captain Lauren Parfitt, also played a crucial role, restricting Glamorgan to a low score and taking key wickets. This victory marks Middlesex's maiden One Day Cup title, while Glamorgan bid a bittersweet farewell to tier-two cricket in their last match before going professional.
