Glamorgan edges Somerset by 15 runs in One-Day Cup final

In a rain-affected One-Day Cup final at Trent Bridge, Glamorgan triumphed over Somerset by 15 runs, marking their second title win in four years. The match was reduced to 20 overs per side due to inclement weather, and Glamorgan, after a shaky start, managed to post a total of 187 runs. Key contributions came from Sam Northeast, who scored 63 runs, and Timm van der Gugten, who added a quick 26 runs. Somerset struggled in their chase, losing wickets early and failing to build momentum. Somerset's innings began slowly, and despite a brief acceleration towards the end, they fell short of the target. Their chase was hampered by poor shot selection and a lack of boundaries in the early overs. The team faced difficulties with the conditions, as the swirling white ball made visibility challenging. Glamorgan's bowlers maintained pressure, and Somerset's inaccuracy with the ball, including 15 extras, proved costly. The match was played in front of a sparse crowd, as many fans had left due to the weather. The game had been pushed to a reserve day after persistent rain on the original date. Glamorgan's ability to adapt to the conditions and capitalize on their opportunities ultimately led to their victory. This defeat adds to Somerset's recent woes, having lost in the finals of the T20 Blast and the County Championship. The team will need to regroup and address their shortcomings as they look to improve in future competitions.
