The Rapids were given an ideal platform by Rob Jones (67) and Gareth Roderick (64) during a second-wicket century stand. Captain Jake Libby (70) sustained the momentum with his fourth half-century of the tournament and he was given fine support by Kashif Ali (34) and Ben Cox (26). "We are absolutely gutted," said captain Jake Libby. The defeat brings their white-ball season to a close having made the knockout stages in both the T20 Vitality Blast and Metro Bank One Day Cup. Worcestershire now turn attention back to the County Championship campaign, where they remain in a good position to compete for promotion.
