Horley's Century Secures One Day Cup Title for Middlesex

Middlesex have claimed their maiden One Day Cup title, defeating Glamorgan by 67 runs in the League Two final, largely thanks to captain Saskia Horley's all-round performance.

  • Saskia Horley scored 117 runs and took 4 wickets for 36 runs.
  • Middlesex posted 278-6 in 50 overs, with Glamorgan all out for 211.
  • This marks Middlesex's first One Day Cup title.

Middlesex have clinched their first One Day Cup title, beating Glamorgan by 67 runs in the League Two final held in Bristol. Captain Saskia Horley was the star performer, hitting a remarkable century and taking four wickets.

Horley's innings of 117 runs from 86 balls, including 13 boundaries, was crucial in setting Middlesex's challenging total. She also formed a 131-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Finty Trussler, who scored 43. Pippa Sproul also contributed 43 runs as Middlesex reached 278-6.

Glamorgan's chase saw Bethan Gammon top-score with 58, but they were ultimately bowled out for 211 in 44.5 overs. Horley continued her dominant display with the ball, taking 4 for 36 to seal the victory for Middlesex. Hannah Davis also took two swift wickets, including that of Gammon.

The win denies Glamorgan a double, having previously won the League Two T20 Blast, and marks their final match in tier-two cricket before turning professional.
