Nottinghamshire win by 1 run (DLS method)

Worcestershire 141/6 (20 overs)
Adam Hose - 43 (35) | Calvin Harrison 2/22

Nottinghamshire 100/3 (15 overs)
Alex Hales - 50* (37) | Hayden Walsh 2/16

It is a DRAMATIC FINISH! Though, not in the way you thought. On a surface where boundaries had been hard to get, against a bowler who had scalped two wickets in 7 balls, a batter who was struggling for runs through the season decided to flip the switch and whack him for two sixes. That description is perhaps enough to give an insight into what a smart, talented and experienced cricketer Alex Hales is.

He was watchful to start off. With the new ball moving around, he had curbed his natural, explosive instincts and grafted the innings out. However, as soon as he realised that it was getting dark and his team was behind on the DLS par, Hales unfurled the slog sweep and followed it up with another six two balls later. That followed by a the good 'ol tactic of having some water and a change of gloves between the overs, ensured that despite Nathan Smith's miserly over that followed, Nottinghamshire were ahead when umpires called the cricketers off. Ahead by only a run. But that is all that mattered.

Worcestershire would go back with a few questions to ponder upon. The intent from their top order was not as affirmative as the modern T20 demands. While, their bowlers bowled well. The decision to hold back Hayden Walsh and bowl two part time spinners before him was a questionable one and potentially, the match changing one.

Nottinghamshire, on the other hand, will breathe a sigh of relief as after 5 consecutive losses, they finally put a 'W' against their names.

8:20 pm local time (12:50 am IST) - Update: There will be no further play. Nottinghamshire win by 1 run. (DLS method).

There comes the inevitable news. There would be no further play. Nottinghamshire win by a run in accordance with the DLS method and pick up their first win of the tournament.

8:00 pm local time (12:30 am IST) - Update: Play stopped due to rain.

The umpires have taken the players off the field and the covers have been brought on. It is a light drizzle at the moment. However, the issue is that it has gotten really dark and there are no floodlights at this venue. The important thing is that Nottinghamshire are 100/3. The DLS par score is 99. Hence, if there is no further play, Nottinghamshire would win.

Oh oh!! The umpires have stopped the play and the players are walking off. Not only has it gotten very dark, it has also just started to drizzle a bit.

Tom Taylor is back into the attack.

Nathan Smith gets through his four overs without conceding a single boundary. After 15 overs, at three wickets down, the DLS Par score is 99. Nottinghamshire are 100/3. They need 42 runs more to win off 30 balls.

14.6 Nathan Smith to Tom Moores, OH! Length delivery, angling in. Moores down the track to hoick but gets a thick inside edge past leg-stump for a single.

14.5 Nathan Smith to Tom Moores, bangs in the short delivery, well outside the off-stump. Moores let's it go to the keeper.

Hales needed some runs under his belt. He was out of form. But on a tricky wicket, seems to have got himself back among the runs.

14.4 Nathan Smith to Alex Hales, FIFTY FOR HALES! Fighting innings from Hales so far, he's held this Notts innings together but the job is not done yet. Back of a length in the channel, Hales taps it to backward point for a quick single.

14.3 Nathan Smith to Tom Moores, back of a length, just outside the off-stump. Moores uses the pace of Smith, guides it down to third-man for just a single.

14.2 Nathan Smith to Alex Hales, back of a length on the middle and off. Hales clipped it past square-leg and settles for just a single.

14.1 Nathan Smith to Tom Moores, length delivery in the channel. Moores leans and pushes it to covers, takes a quick single.

It has gotten dark out there. Nottinghamshire were behind on the DLS par before that six off the last ball. Perhaps, Hales got the message. He seems to be pushing the gas paddle now. Nottinghamshire need another 47 runs to win off 36 balls.

13.6 Hayden Walsh to Alex Hales, SIX MORE! Turning this game on it's head Hales now. Floated a short delivery, but was well outside the off-stump. Hales shuffles long across, powered it way over deep mid-wicket boundary this time for another maximum.

13.5 Hayden Walsh to Tom Moores, loopy full delivery outside the off-stump. Moores drills it through the cover region for just a single.

13.4 Hayden Walsh to Alex Hales, single taken

13.3 Hayden Walsh to Alex Hales, SIX! Hales just had enough to clear the man at deep square-leg. The fielder thought he was in business for most part of it. Length delivery on the off-stump, Hales slog sweeps it all the way over for a maximum.

13.2 Hayden Walsh to Tom Moores, another googly, short and turning the other way from left-hander. Moores waits, fetches and swipes it to deep square-leg for one.
