Hampshire stormed into the Metro Bank One-Day Cup final after Liam Dawson produced a career-best 142 at Scarborough. Coming in with his side reeling at 78 for 4, the all-rounder rebuilt the innings with calm strokes before cutting loose with seven towering sixes. Scott Currie added a strong 61 not out, and together they lifted Hampshire to 304 for 6.

Yorkshire seemed on course in the chase with Imam-ul-Haq anchoring the reply through a fine 105. At 171 for 3, they looked favourites to cross the line in a rain-adjusted chase of 254. But the game turned dramatically when Currie removed two batsmen in the same over, including a run out of Imam Ul Haq that silenced the crowd. From there, Hampshire’s bowlers tightened the screws, and Yorkshire folded to 235 for 8, slipping to an 18-run defeat by the DLS method.

The victory booked Hampshire’s ticket to the September 20 final at Trent Bridge, where they will face Worcestershire. Fans can also follow the build-up of the CPL and watch every ball live through tapmad.
