Glamorgan opened up their Royal London Cup campaign with a dramatic last over win against Warwickshire at Sophia Gardens.
Chasing 222 to win, the Welsh County's reply was built on half-centuries from captain Kiran Carlson and Billy Root, before Roman Walker and Lukas Carey put on a ninth-wicket stand of 30 to seal victory with just two balls and two wickets remaining.
In the Warwickshire innings, Joe Cooke starred with the ball taking 3/35 on List A debut, while Michael Hogan (2/26) was his usual economical self.
“It was a bit of a nail biter at the end. Emotions were running high in the dressing room, and my heart was in my mouth, but these are the kind of wins you play for," said Carlson.
“Lukas (Carey) and Roman (Walker) getting us over the line in the end was fantastic and it was really exciting for the team and the crowd. They could easily have panicked but they showed great maturity and that puts is in good stead for the rest of the competition.
“We knew from the start of this competition that every team would be blooding new players and it was credit to them that they came into the side and played as they did.
“There is a bit of added pressure being captain. I want to contribute to the team winning and it makes the job of being captain easier if I’m scoring runs.
“It was a wicket on which you could lose batsmen in clusters. You had to give yourself time. You couldn’t come in and blast it. The boys gave themselves time.
“Those type of games can swing with one shot or one miss field. Credit to them they took the game as deep as they good when Billy (Root) and I should have won it from where we were."
