Middlesex (women) vs Glamorgan (women) (match 35, L2) at Radlett, Cricket Club (Brunton Memorial Ground) on Sunday 6 September 2026
Having previously ‘booked their place’ in the semi-finals, an ‘incredibly strong’ Middx womens’ team completed the competition’s first ever ten-wicket ‘whitewash,’ reportedly a ‘dress-reheasal’ for the final. Batting first, Beth Gammon [26runs (from 37 balls)] made top-score for Glamorgan women, who were bowled-out for a total of 94 runs, setting Middlesex women a barely defendable target score. Reportedly ‘just returned from Australia,’ Middlesex skipper Saskia Horley took a 4-fer (taking four wickets/conceding 27 runs): that included a rare ‘double-wicket maiden.’ Replying with a relatively uneventful run-chase, openers Artemis Downer [60*not out(50) ]partnered by Riva Pindoria 27*not out (40) staged a century partnership and carried their bats, undefeated. Separately, Artemis Downer scored 22 runs from the final (fifteenth) over, also scoring the winning ’six.’ Finishing ‘top-of-table,’ Middx women play fourth-placed Steelbacks in their semi-final. Without commentary. Weather: sunny with white clouds, 17C.
