Overview
- Somerset were 82 for 8 in the chase of 162 when Craig Overton walked in and finished unbeaten on 79 off 30 balls to win the T20 Blast quarter-final.
- Overton also contributed with the ball earlier in the match, dismissing Moeen Ali for a golden duck and removing Adam Lyth as Somerset helped restrict Yorkshire to 161 for 9.
- He cleared the ropes three times in the final over, including consecutive sixes off Matthew Revis, and completed the winning runs on the penultimate delivery.
- The victory sends Somerset through to Men's T20 Blast Finals Day and keeps their recent run of late-stage appearances intact; reports say they are set to face Northamptonshire in the semi-final.
- Some outlets have reported that Overton’s knock is a record for a No.9 in T20 cricket, but that specific claim has limited corroboration in the available sources.
