T20 Blast: Parfitt’s 86 leads Glamorgan to convincing win at Gloucestershire

Advertisements

Glamorgan went into the game unbeaten in six One Day Cup and T20 County Cup matches, while Gloucestershire only had their two County Cup wins to relish.

Glamorgan lost Scotland all-rounder Megan McColl to injury in the warm-up, while Gloucestershire gave a debut to new signing, former Somerset batter Amelie Munday.

On a baking afternoon, Jeanes and Parfitt raced to 55 in the powerplay, Jeanes leading the way as the pair took advantage of some sloppy fielding from the hosts.

She had clubbed eight fours in her 38 off 26, with the stand worth 74, by the time Geach induced a catch to point.

Despite two more wickets for Geach, Parfitt then took control as she blasted 13 fours to maintain Glamorgan’s momentum until she lofted to long-on in the 18th over.

Set a demanding run-rate of 9.25 to win, Gloucestershire were restricted to 37 for one in the powerplay, despite several chances going down, with Meg Ahearne caught at cover off off-spinner Porter.

Rebecca Halliday (17) and Munday (20) made some headway before seamer Jackson had Munday well caught at long-on by Jeanes and took out Halliday’s middle stump.

With just 50 on the board at half-way, it was largely a question of earning some respectability as Story and the hard-hitting Geach put together a half-century stand which only ended when Story was stumped off the final ball.

Glamorgan have a rapid turn-round to host Derbyshire 24 hours later, while Gloucestershire travel to Kent on 31 May.
