Leicestershire defeated Nottinghamshire by 23 runs in the One-Day Cup, defending a total of 303 for 7 by restricting their opponents to 280. A decisive middle-over surge with the bat and a disciplined bowling performance in the same phase proved the difference between the two sides. Nottinghamshire were unable to recover from a cluster of wickets that halted their chase despite a promising start.



Trent Rockets (Women) chased down a target of 91 with 22 balls to spare at Headingley, beating Northern Superchargers (Women) by eight wickets in The Hundred. The result was settled long before the final set, with the Rockets' top order absorbing early pressure and then accelerating through the middle overs without losing control of the required rate.



Manchester Originals defended 162 for 5 to beat Trent Rockets by four runs in The Hundred, restricting the chase to 158 for 8 at the close. The match turned on the final set of five, where the Rockets needed 13 and could not find the boundary that would have reversed the result. Originals captain Jos Buttler top-scored with 58 from 41 balls, and the bowling unit held its shape under pressure.



Nottinghamshire chased 274 to beat Yorkshire by three wickets in the One-Day Cup final at Headingley, reaching 277 for 7 with four balls to spare. Yorkshire's 273 for 9, built on a patient 84 from Harry Brook, proved insufficient as Nottinghamshire's middle order absorbed pressure through the closing overs. The result delivers Nottinghamshire their first 50-over trophy since 2017 and leaves Yorkshire still searching for a first limited-overs title in five seasons.
