Glamorgan vs. Somerset One-Day Cup 2024 Match Preview: A poor projection in Nottingham raises the possibility of England and Glamorgan claiming the prize.
Due to the lack of play on Sunday at Trent Bridge, Somerset and Glamorgan's 2024 Metro Bank Final was forced into a reserve time.
The Midlands experienced particularly severe storms and heavy rains throughout the United Kingdom, making even the shove impossible because the pitch and rectangular remained covered, with persistent rain preventing any attempt at a clean-up.
The teams may return on Monday to test a whole 50-overs competition, but more inclement weather is expected. In the event of a no-result, Somerset ( 50-over champions in 2019 ) and Glamorgan ( 2013 champions ) would share the trophy. Luckily, there will be enough awards for both groups due to a glut from last year.
Recently, in such instances, the win would have been decided in a bowl-out. Nevertheless, the ECB removed that solution ahead of the 2024 time when introducing stockpile times across all men's and women's limited-overs playoffs. Speaking in November, ECB operations director Alan Fordham had hoped they would not be required:" Every knock match has a reserve time, but it's amazing how much reserve days are truly required", he said. " Hopefully, I'm hardly leaving myself a prisoner to wealth".
It will be the next event of a supply time being used for a men's List A last, and the first use of one in men's home cricket since the Vitality Blast Final in 2020. The supply time had to be used to finish the Charlotte Edwards Cup last summer.
The time needed to clean the floor would have exceeded the 4:02pm cut-off level, so play was ultimately abandoned when a ball was bowled at 2:33pm, when the rainfall was at its worst. The match may have started out as a 50-a-side matter before any changes to the playing circumstances would have been made before any changes had been made.
The One-Day Cup is now the only trophy remaining in the charge for a hat-trick of names that was derailed next week, so Somerset will continue to wait for flatware, though it will take another 24 hours. With a large to spare, Surrey won their third consecutive County Championship after losing to Gloucestershire in the Blast finalized on Saturday.
Glamorgan, however, could do with someone to praise. They failed to make it out of the South Group in the Blast and are now second-bottom in Division Two heading into the last large.
On Sunday, both groups brought three followers, each with a salary of at least three, with them. Around 200 England supporters set off from Taunton at 6: 10am, while Glamorgan had two cars leaving Cardiff at 6am, and one from Wales which arrived on Saturday and may stay overnight in the trust that Monday's projection is a failure.
