Nottinghamshire vs Hampshire, Quarter Final 2 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

The T20s are meant to be unpredictable but these low scoring ones add more to the mystery that T20s bring to the plate. You find your platter full and in the blink of an eye, it is all gone. Try saying the same to the Notts! They will have a painful narrative for sure. Hampshire though have done the giant killing job and would as well as should party all night. Because this was a special win. Time for us to draw the curtains. Au Revoir!

Liam Dawson, Man of the Match: At the half time, we were below par. But to come out and perform was brilliant. It has been stop and start personally. But the boys have played excellently. We were always behind the game. The wicket started to spin more as we bowled slower.

James Vince: Delighted! To win in that fashion as well. We were looking a mile off but very proud of the boys. Hopefully, more to come on the finals day. We didn't get too much carried away. We just found a way as we have in the competition. We had the belief we could win. Wheal has done it in the Hundred as well. He has been a banker for us.

Steven Mullaney: It was a total which we should have chased it down. Credit to Hampshire as they stuck to the task and got over the line. I think it was a well below par total. Carter was outstanding. In the crunch time, they bowled really well. We knew it was a used wicket but the score was well under par.

21:56 Local Time, 20:56 GMT, 02:26 IST: The defending champions have choked. Indeed they have. They have faltered in a chase of 126. From 42 for 1 to 66 for 2 to 125 all-out, it was a roller coaster ride which the Notts didn't relish much. A word about Matthew Carter, who was stranded at the other end. He swung the game for the Notts in the penultimate over only to be left deserted in the final over. But how have the Notts goofed this up? It might have been a used wicket but some of the shots in the second essay were downright poor. They dug a hole and fell in a fatal manner into it. Dawson's double strikes and then Currie's really hampered the chase. It would be a very hard loss to take for the defending champions who have been shown the door in the quarter-finals.

Wheal to Paterson, out Caught by Lewis McManus!! Welcome aboard the new phoenix! They have risen from the ashes to usurp the defending champions. This will be a tough pill to swallow for Notts.
