Navya Sharma wreaked havoc in bowling
The foundation of this one-sided victory of Middlesex was laid by the youth and experienced bowlers together. Fast bowler Navya Sharma bowled an excellent spell and took 4 wickets for 29 runs. Supporting him, Toby Rowland-Jones also took 3 wickets for 35 runs. After this, the task of dismantling the lower order was done by Noah Cornwell, who took full advantage of the bounce provided by the pitch and took 3 wickets for just 1 run. This score of 66 runs by Glamorgan is their lowest score till date in List-A cricket against Middlesex. At the same time, Middlesex took only 20.5 overs to destroy Glamorgan’s innings.
After losing the toss and coming to bat first, Glamorgan had a very poor start. Navya Sharma gave the first blow to Callum Nicholls by LBW. After this, Ed Byrom and Henry Hurley played some aggressive shots, but as soon as Hurley was out, the team collapsed like a house of cards. Glamorgan lost its 6 wickets by adding only 15 runs in just 33 balls. Which was the biggest reason for this poor batting.

Chasing the small target of 67 runs, the Middlesex team adopted an aggressive stance from the very first ball. Josh de Cares, who came out to bat despite being injured, played an unbeaten inning of 45 runs in 30 balls. However, Glamorgan’s Thomas Edwards did take 2 wickets by dismissing Naton Fernandez and Sam Robson, but by then it was too late. Middlesex scored 67 runs in 9.1 overs and won the match by 8 wickets.
