Stat Attack - the greatest ever run chase?

8 May 2019 |
Glamorgan’s pursuit of a target of 348 yesterday at Hove against the Sussex Sharks was their highest-ever successful run-chase in List A cricket. Their total of 348-8 beat their previous best of 334-7 against Hampshire at The Ageas Bowl in 2017.

Glamorgan’s total was also their fourth highest-ever in List A cricket, surpassed by:

429       v Surrey at The Oval, 2002 (C&G)

373-7    v Bedfordshire at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, 1998 (NWT)

356-7    v Kent at Swansea, 2017 (RL)


In terms of highest scores batting last in Championship cricket and winning the game, Glamorgan’s best remains 367-4 on the final day of their match against Essex at Chelmsford in 2001 when the Welsh county were victorious by six wickets.

In 1990 at Abergavenny, Glamorgan were also set a target of 495 on the final day by Worcestershire, with the home side ending a pulsating match on 493-6 as the contest ended in a draw.
