Double win T20 booster for Lincolnshire

The results move Lincolnshire to three wins from their opening four matches, placing them firmly in the qualification conversation heading into the final two group round.

Lincolnshire won the first game by seven wickets

Lincolnshire’s bowlers set the tone early, applying relentless pressure that Hertfordshire never escaped as they were bowled out for 121.

Thomas Currie took 4-18 from 4 overs, a spell full of accuracy and aggression, while Matty Mills calined 2-9 from fourovers, continuing his impressive comeback with superb control.

Their combined effort restricted Herts to a below-par total.

The chase was anchored by a blend of youthful promise and seasoned experience with James Laud (39), showing maturity and composure and Sam Evans (47 not out) from 34 balls, guiding the innings with authority.

Lincolnshire crossed the line comfortably with seven wickets in hand at 122-3.

Match two was then won by 25 runs.

Batting first, Lincolnshire produced a more expansive performance, again led by their in-form top order.

Key contributions with the bat coming again from Laud (64 from 43 balls), mixing power with placement and senior man, Sam Evans (49 from 38 balls), continuing his excellent day.

Their partnership set the foundation for a competitive total of 173-8.

Hertfordshire’s reply never fully ignited, with wickets shared evenly across the attack.

Tom Currie, Tom Shepherd, Amartya Kaul and Nic Keast all claimed two wickets each to restrict Herts to 148 all out, sealing a deserved double victory for the hosts.

Lincolnshire now turn their attention to this Wednesday's marquee fixture (3rd June) - the 2026 NCCA Showcase Game against the professionals of Nottinghamshire CCC at Cleethorpes Cricket Club.
