Lancs crash in a thriller at Emirates
Manchester Evening News|July 08, 2023
INAUGURAL Vitality Blast champions Surrey are through to Finals Day a week on Saturday having just about defended a 188 target to win a high-scoring thriller against Lancashire by 13 runs at Emirates Old Trafford.
Lancs crash in a thriller at Emirates

The 2003 winners inflicted a first home T20 defeat upon the Lightning in 22 games dating back to late 2020, and they did it as the hosts slipped from 124 for two in the 14th over of their chase to finish on 174 for six.

Captain and England white ball seamer Chris Jordan excelled with two for 27 from four overs, leaving Australian seamer Sean Abbott defending 19 off the last over to seal a semifinal meeting with Somerset at Edgbaston.

Surrey's 187 for five having elected to bat was underpinned by 70 off 41 balls for opener Laurie Evans and 50 off 34 for Jason Roy from number three.

But they didn't get as many as they should have on a used pitch, opening the door for England white ball captain Jos Buttler to put the game in Lightning's favour with an opening 42.

Veteran Steven Croft also made 55, but it wasn't enough.
