into the pads, fenced down to fine leg, and Leicestershire are into the One-Day Cup final!
Gloucester vs LEICS, 2nd Semi Final at Leicester, One-Day Cup, Aug 29 2023 - Ball by Ball Commentary
LEICS won by 6 wickets (with 129 balls remaining)
8.22pm Handshakes all round... well, that was less tense that it seemed at 33 for 4! Handscomb and Mulder barely batted an eyelid in ticking off the remaining 93 runs, and Leicestershire will face Hampshire in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup final at Trent Bridge! Due reward for an outstanding 50-over campaign. Tough luck on Gloucestershire, but despite a spirited new-ball burst, that target of 126 was never likely to be enough. From County Cricket Pop-Up Comms, good night!
