Out of eightVitality Blast matches scheduled for 18 June, only two was possible as the rest of the match was abandoned due persistent rain.

Glamorgan vs Middlesex

Glamorgan 150/9 in 20 overs (Ingram 75; Finn 4-19) beat Middlesex 129/9 in 20 overs (Stirling 46; van der Gugten 3-16) by 21 runs. Player of the Match: Colin Ingram

A disciplined bowling performance from Glamorgan restricted Middlesex to 129/9 after Colin Ingram’s 75 propelled them to 150 in the first innings.

Ingram scored exactly half his team’s total on his own. Only two others could touch the double digits. Steven Finn claimed four wickets and Blake Cullen three.

In reply, Middlesex lost two wickets inside four overs before Paul Stirling and Eoin Morgan added 61 for the fourth wicket. Stirling struck three fours and as many sixes in his 36-ball 46. His dismissal opened the floodgates, as the rest of the batters could not put up a fight.

In the end, they were restricted to 129/9. Timm van der Gugten was the pick of the bowlers, returning impressive figures of 4-0-16-3.

Nottinghamshire vs Derbyshire

Nottinghamshire 152/6 in 15 overs (Patel 64*; Van Beek 3-22) beat Derbyshire 150/6 in 15 overs (du Plooy 58*; Patel 2-14; Ball 2-30) by 2 runs. Player of the Match: Samit Patel

The Vitality Blast fixture between Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire was reduced to 15 overs each due to a delayed start. Samit Patel’s 32-ball 64 propelled Nottinghamshire to 152/6. Logan van Beek and George Scrimshaw picked up three wickets each.

Luis Reece and Leus du Plooy struck half-centuries but in vain. With 21 needed off the last over, du Plooy hit two fours and a six on the last ball but they still fell two runs short of the target.
