Nottinghamshire 198 for 5 (Duckett 64, Hales 63) beat Derbyshire 171 for 8 (Reece 61, Gurney 5-30) by 27 runs

Alex Hales and Ben Duckett scored half-centuries before Harry Gurney took five wickets to carry the Nottinghamshire Outlaws to a 27 run victory over the Derbyshire Falcons in the North Group at Derby.

Hales made 63 from 42 balls and Duckett 64 from 40 as they added 92 in nine overs to lift the Outlaws to 198 for 5 after the Falcons had put them in. Luis Reece scored 61 from 42 balls but Gurney bowled superbly to claim 5 for 30, his best T20 figures, as the Falcons could only manage 171 for 8.

The Outlaws had made a measured start with Hales and Joe Clarke selecting placement over power until Clarke skied a big drive at Fynn Hudson-Prentice in the sixth over. Duckett drove Matt Critchley for the first six in the ninth over as the Outlaws engaged the turbo with Hales driving Alex Hughes onto the media centre balcony and lifting Mark Watt for another maximum.

The Falcons lost Logan van Beek with a shoulder injury before Duckett survived a swirling catch to cover on 32 off Watt who kicked the air in frustration when Hales drove him straight for his third six.

Duckett pulled Critchley over the midwicket boundary but the leg-spinner broke the stand in the 15th over when Hales was caught at wide long-on and Dan Cristian became his second victim when he sliced a drive to mid-off.

Tom Moores was bowled behind his legs by Ravi Rampaul and Duckett was brilliantly caught on the cover boundary but Samit Patel struck 14 from five balls to set a challenging target.

Hudson-Prentice took two fours from Matt Carter's opening over and Billy Godleman pulled Gurney for six but the seamer responded by having Hudson-Prentice caught at cover off a sliced drive.

Reece drove Carter over long-off and pulled Jake Ball for another six to take the Falcons to 53 for 1 at the end of the Powerplay. Godleman was reprieved on 19 when Duckett just failed to take a diving one-handed catch at cover, injuring himself in the process, and the Outlaws turned the screw to leave the Falcons needing 115 off the last 10 overs.

The climbing run rate forced Godleman to pull Gurney to deep square leg and although Reece drove Patel for his third six to reach fifty off 29 balls, Wayne Madsen became Imad Wasim's first victim for the Outlaws in the 14th over.

Reece and Leus du Plooy took 14 from a Carter over but Reece was caught behind trying to scoop Gurney who settled it by removing Critchley and du Plooy in his final over as the game finished in pouring rain.
