Wayne Madsen was their standout batter, having scored 50 runs off 35 balls with three fours and four sixes. Thereafter, Lancashire chased down the target with four balls to spare after opening batter Luke Wells scored 66 runs off 35 balls with nine fours and three sixes.

Joe Clarke, Samit Patel, and Colin Munro bring in a lot of value to their eleven.
