Story

In a dramatic conclusion to the Metro Bank One-Day Cup, Glamorgan triumphed over Somerset by 15 runs in a rain-affected final held at Trent Bridge. Originally scheduled for Sunday, the match was postponed due to inclement weather, leading to a decision by the ECB to shorten the game to 20 overs per side. This adjustment was made to ensure a decisive outcome, as sharing the trophy would have been deemed unsatisfactory. Somerset, having been in contention for three county titles within a week, faced disappointment once again, marking their third near miss in a short span. Despite a valiant effort, they could not secure the victory, leaving their trophy cabinet empty for the season. The match showcased the resilience of both teams, but ultimately, Glamorgan emerged victorious, adding to their accolades while Somerset's hopes were dashed once more.
