Glamorgan v Northamptonshire: Head-to-Head

29 May 2015 | Matches
Glamorgan meet Northamptonshire at the SWALEC Stadium in their next match in the LV=County Championship with play due to start at 11am on Sunday, May 31st (Gates open at 10am).
It's a case of third against fourth, as Northamptonshire - currently on 63 points - meet Glamorgan who are two points behind. Both teams have drawn four of their five matches so far in the LV=County Championship, with Glamorgan defeating Essex last week by 89 runs at the SWALEC Stadium, with their opening first-class victory of the season being underpinned by a fine all-round team performance.


Northamptonshire's sole victory of the 2015 season came in the final week of April when they defeated Leicestershire by 92 runs at Grace Road with Mohammad Azharullah claiming a six-wicket match haul and Rory Kleinveldt a return of 4/87 in the home team's second innings as they fell short of their target on the final day


The last two matches between the two sides in the LV=County Championship at Cardiff both ended in draws, with the weather playing a hand in the contests in 2012 and 2013, but Glamorgan were victorious in May 2010 when they inflicted an innings defeat over the East Midlands side thanks to a century from Jamie Dalrymple.


Northamptonshire's most recent victory in a four-day game at Cardiff came in September 2006 when a century from Lance Klusener helped to set up a nine wicket victory for the visitors.
