James Fuller and Liam Dawson shined to eliminate Gloucestershire’s hopes of qualifying, giving Hampshire their spot in the final round. Hampshire reached 140 thanks to Fuller’s 24-ball 45 first innings lead and some useful runs from the middle of the order. Despite Gloucestershire losing early wickets, Hampshire’s victory was secured by the combined efforts of Nathan Ellis and Liam Dawson, whose respective returns were 1-14 and 2-16. With 38, James Bracey kept Gloucestershire in the hunt, but there was still just too much to accomplish.
Brief scores: Hampshire 140/7 in 20 overs (Joe Weatherley 32, James Fuller 45; Tom Smith 2-18, Benny Howell 2-29) beat Gloucestershire 125 in 19.4 overs (James Bracey 38; Liam Dawson 2-16) by 15 runs.
