In the One-Day Cup semi-final, Imam-ul-Haq amassed a hundred for Yorkshire, yet it was not enough to secure the victory, with Hampshire ultimately emerging as the winners.
In a thrilling encounter at Scarborough, Hampshire secured a place in the final of the 2025 One Day Cup against Worcestershire, to be held at Trent Bridge on September 20. The England all-rounder, Liam Dawson, shone with a career-best 142 runs and two wickets, helping Hampshire overcome Yorkshire in a rain-affected game.
The game began with Hampshire struggling early, collapsing to 78-4. However, Dawson's impressive knock, along with valuable contributions from other players, helped Hampshire post a formidable total of 304-6 in their full 50 overs.
Yorkshire's response was led by Azhar Ali Ul-Haq, who scored 105 runs, taking their total to 235-8 in 41 overs. However, tight Hampshire bowling prevented Yorkshire from reviving their innings, with Dawson taking 2-55 in the game.
Scott Currie, another Hampshire bowler, played a crucial role, taking a crucial over that resulted in two wickets for Yorkshire, including the run out of Ul-Haq. Despite their best efforts, Yorkshire fell short by 18 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method, losing the game.
Ul-Haq, who currently leads the competition's batting standings with 688 runs and an average of 98.28, will be unavailable for the final next month due to a possible recall to the Pakistan Test side for a series with South Africa.
The final promises to be an exciting contest between two strong teams. Let's wait and see who will emerge victorious in the 50-overs-per-side cricket tournament.
