T20 Blast 2023 Most Runs and Most Wickets standings: Bell Drummond and Ben Green top the charts – Updated after Day 26

On Friday, June 30th, eight matches of the T20 Blast 2023 took place to further electrify the extravaganza as it reaches the end stages. There were four North Group matches played alongside an equal number of South Group matches.

The first match of the day saw Durham vs Worcestershire take place at Worcester. Durham posted 216 for the loss of four wickets, but the rain spoiled things for both sides. With Worcester on 112, the match was tied as a result of the D/L method.

The next game was another from the North Group, as Warwickshire and Nottinghamshire met at Nottingham. Nottinghamshire, upon batting first, totaled 168 and lost all its wickets.

While defending, their bowlers leaked some extra runs, letting the Bears win by two wickets, reaching 172 with a boundary in response to a target of 169 runs.

Somerset vs Surrey was scheduled next at The Oval, and Somerset stood out. They gathered 208 for the loss of only five wickets, and while defending, they won by 18 runs. It must be said that Surrey tried their best; however, they fell short of balls on 190 with a single wicket in their hand.

Sussex and Kent of the South Group met next, and it was Sussex who stood out. They managed to win by 11 runs after Kent failed to meet the target of 229 runs at Canterbury.

Hampshire vs Glamorgan took place next, with the D/L method once again interfering in another match of the day.

While Hampshire scored 97/2 while batting first, Glamorgan were left pretty behind considering the D/L method, scoring 54/1 in allotted overs, which let Hamshire win by 21 runs.

Lancashire vs Yorkshire could have further spiced up the day, but the match was abandoned without a ball being bowled. All courtesy of the bad weather in nearby areas.

In another South Group fixture of the day, Essex locked horns with Middlesex, and Middlesex was once again able to add a win to their tally.

They kicked off the T20 Blast 2023 season badly with 11 back-to-back defeats. Facing Essex, they managed to win by two wickets while chasing 226.

The final match of the day was Derbyshire vs Leicestershire. Batting first, Derbyshire splendidly amassed 231 runs for the loss of four wickets, which eventually became too much for Leicestershire to handle. They departed on 160, letting Derbyshire win by 71 runs.
