Hampshire are through to next month's Metro Bank One-Day Cup final after a rain-affected semi-final win over Yorkshire at Scarborough, the visitors defending a revised 41-over target of 254 following Liam Dawson's stunning List A best 142 off 116 balls.
Hampshire, winners of this competition in 2018, will face Worcestershire at Trent Bridge on September 20 after the Rapids beat Somerset at home and the visitors won here by 18 runs on Duckworth Lewis Stern.

Worcestershire powered through to the Metro Bank One-Day Cup final with a 131-run (DLS) victory over Somerset at New Road.
Put in, the home side totalled a solid 275 for 9 as Daniel Lategan struck his List A-best 78 against a disciplined Somerset attack with Jack Leach's excellent 10-1-28-2 at its heart. Ben Green took 4 for 52.

Northern Superchargers 119 for 3 (Carey 35*, Sutherland 28*) beat Southern Brave 115 for 6 (Kemp 26, Sutherland 2-23, Cross 2-23) by seven wickets
Northern Superchargers rode their momentum to a maiden Women's Hundred title with a convincing seven-wicket victory over Southern Brave.
Two wickets apiece to Kate Cross and Annabel Sutherland, followed by an unbroken 60-run partnership between Sutherland and Nicola Carey allowed Superchargers to pass a target of 116 with 12 balls to spare and reverse the result of the 2023 final before a record crowd for the women's competition of 22,542 at Lord's.

Sri Lanka 278 for 5 (Nissanka 122, Asalanka 71, Ngarava 2-53) beat Zimbabwe 277 for 7 (Curran 79, Raza 59*, Chameera 3-52) by five wickets
Similar to the first ODI, this too went down to the wire, and like that game on Friday, the chasing side seemed in control right until the last. But here with wickets in hand, and a deep batting line-up, Sri Lanka held firm and saw the game through.
Full postHosein, Hales, Munro help Knight Riders consolidate CPL top spot
Tahir tried to stage a fightback with a triple-wicket over but failed to get support from his Amazon Warriors team-mates

Trinbago Knight Riders 169 for 4 (Hales 74, Munro 52, Tahir 4-27) beat Guyana Amazon Warriors 163 for 9 (Hope 39, Hosein 3-27, Hinds 2-35) by six wickets
A dominating, all-round show from Trinbago Knight Riders took down an abject Guyana Amazon Warriors to consolidate their position at the top of the points table with their fourth straight win in CPL 2025.
Akeal Hosein started the damage with the new ball early on to help restrict the Amazon Warriors to 163 before openers Colin Munro and Alex Hales put on a century opening stand, and Andre Russell put in the finishing touches. Imran Tahir's four-for caused a flutter or two but in the end the win was almost academic.

No result - Trent Rockets 12 for 0 vs Northern Superchargers 119 for 5 (Lawrence 44*)
It will be Trent Rockets, not Northern Superchargers, who face Oval Invincibles in Sunday's Hundred final at Lord's after a soggy night in south London ended in an abandonment. Showers delayed the start by 20 minutes, prompted two hour-long interruptions, and eventually wiped the game out altogether, with Rockets progressing by virtue of their higher group-stage finish.
The final call came at 9.52pm, nearly four hours yet only 80 legal balls after the scheduled 6pm start. Rockets twice started to chase adjusted targets - 134 off 75, then 105 off 55 - only for the drizzle to turn into rain, and the crowd had thinned by the time a final heavy downpour prompted umpires James Middlebrook and Martin Saggers to finally pull the plug.

Asif Khan looked destructive in his innings of 35-ball 77 but it came about far too late

Pakistan 207 all out (Ayub 69, Hasan Nawaz 56, Saghir 3-44) beat UAE 176 for 8 (Asif 77, Waseem 33, Hasan Ali 3-47) by 31 runs
Saim Ayub and Hasan Nawaz's firepower overwhelmed UAE as Pakistan registered their second win in as many days: a 31-run thumping of the home side in Sharjah. The pair's half-centuries did the lion's share of the work as cameos around them kept Pakistan's momentum ticking along through the first innings. A burst at the end from Faheem Ashraf and Hasan Ali carried them to 207, their joint third-highest men's T20I total.
UAE's chase was highly dependent on what their captain Muhammad Waseem could do during the powerplay. Sure enough, a blistering start kindled brief optimism as he raced along to 33, but his innings was cut down in its prime after a horrible mix-up towards the end of the first six overs.

Bangladesh 138 for 2 (Litton 54*, Saif 36*) beat Netherlands 136 for 8 (Nidamanuru 28, Taskin 4-28, Saif 2-18) by eight wickets
Taskin Ahmed, Saif Hassan and captain Litton Das played starring roles as Bangladesh eased to an eight-wicket win over Netherlands in the first T20I in Sylhet.
Taskin took four wickets and Saif, playing his first T20I since October 2023, bagged his first two T20I wickets as Bangladesh restricted the visitors to 136 after asking them to bat. Saif completed his comeback with a quickfire cameo to support Litton's brisk half-century as Bangladesh won with 6.3 overs to spare.

Barbados Royals stay rooted to the bottom of the table after their third loss in four games

Trinbago Knight Riders 179 for 2 (Munro 67, Pooran 65*, Warrican 1-24) beat Barbados Royals 178 for 6 (Rutherford 45, Alleyne 41, Powell 31, Russel 3-37, Amir 2-35) by seven wickets
Colin Munro and Nicholas Pooran led a clinical chase as Trinbago Knight Riders brushed aside Barbados Royals by seven wickets in Tarouba to rise to the top of the CPL 2025 table. Chasing 179, Munro set the tone with a typically aggressive 67 while Pooran finished the job in style with an unbeaten 65, wrapping up the target with 13 balls to spare. With three losses and a no-result in four matches, Royals are bottom of the table.
The foundation of the chase was laid early, as Munro and Alex Hales added 55 for the opening wicket inside the powerplay. Munro, who was the early aggressor, raced to his half-century off just 30 balls. Even after Hales fell for a 14-ball 19, off the final delivery of the sixth over, the momentum remained firmly with Knight Riders.

Precocious 42-ball century breaks London's spirit to book place in Sunday's final at Lord's

Northern Superchargers 214 for 5 (Perrin 101, Litchfield 35, Carey 31*) beat London Spirit 172 for 9 (Redmayne 50*, Knott 40, Ballinger 3-22, Sutherland 3-40) by 42 runs
Just one delivery stood between 18-year-old Davina Perrin and a personal piece of history, but that became a mere detail when her astonishing 42-ball century powered Northern Superchargers to a record total and into Sunday's Hundred final against Southern Brave at Lord's.
Perrin fell just short of Harry Brook's 41-ball record for the fastest century in the competition, but her precocious efforts were more than enough to settle Saturday's Eliminator against London Spirit at The Kia Oval, as Superchargers won by a thumping 42 runs.
