In a thrilling T20 encounter at the home of cricket, Glamorgan emerged victorious over Middlesex by three wickets. Sam Northeast’s magnificent 67 off 45 balls, coupled with a blistering 54 from Kiran Carlson, helped the visitors chase down a target of 174 with 10 balls to spare.

Earlier, Middlesex Were Given a Strong Start

Middlesex were given a strong start by Martin Andersson’s 57 from 34 balls and an impressive 48 from skipper Stephen Eskinazi, as the duo shared an opening stand of 108. However, the hosts’ innings unraveled after the dismissal of Andersson, with Mason Crane (3/28) and a stunning triple-wicket maiden from Timm van der Gugten (3/30) restricting Middlesex to 173 all out.

Glamorgan’s Chase and Van der Gugten’s Impressive Performance

Glamorgan’s chase got off to a shaky start, with Eddie Byrom caught early. But Carlson’s onslaught, including five sixes, put the visitors firmly in control. Despite the loss of a few wickets, Northeast’s composed innings and a timely cameo from Chris Cooke ensured Glamorgan’s triumph, their first-ever T20 win at Lord’s.

Van der Gugten’s impressive figures, which included the scalps of Luke Hollman, Tom Helm, and Henry Brookes, were crucial in Glamorgan’s victory. The result sees the Welsh side claim an important win in the backyard cricket, club cricket, and fantasy club cricket landscapes, further enhancing their presence in the domestic 100-ball cricket live scene.
