Last outing

A career-best score of 88 by Vansh Jani helped Warwickshire Bears to a four-wicket victory over Lancashire in Group A of the Metro Bank One Day Cup at Rugby.

Chasing 312, Warwickshire were 113/2 when 21-year-old Jani arrived at the crease and his boisterous knock proved a key contribution in their triumph, along with the innings of Dan Mousley (67, 61 balls) and Alex Davies (51 not out, 62).

Red Rose batters Marcus Harris (89, 90) and Rocky Flintoff (61, 51) had earlier helped to set the hosts an imposing total, which was eventually chased down with seven balls to spare.

Previous meeting

The last List A meeting between the sides was almost a year to the day of this year’s match, when the Bears ran out 79-run victors at Rugby School.

Ed Barnard ticked over 2,000 List A runs in his innings of 60 in the Bears’ 283/9, before Taz Ali took 5/54 as Kent were skittled for 204.

Bear to Watch

Nathan Gilchrist made his return from injury in Sunday’s win over Lancashire, and he’ll be looking to build on a successful first outing in Bears’ One Day Cup colours.
