Lancashire batted first and due to the innings of Philip Salt, Liam Livingstone and Tim David, they scored 183. Chasing a big total, Yorkshire copped early blows and were 56 for 3 when Joe Root was dismissed by Matthew Parkinson.
For having lost their first three wickets for 56 runs in the opening seven overs, Yorkshire kept up the tempo at a difficult asking rate thanks largely to a magnificent third-wicket partnership of 115 between Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Harry Brook. Brook made a superb score of 72 off 48 balls with three fours and three sixes, his tenth fifty-plus in 11 innings this season, while Tom Kohler-Cadmore made 67 off 50 balls with seven fours and one six, with the pair sharing Yorkshires highest T20 record fourth-wicket partnership of 115 off 76 balls.
Kohler-Cadmore took 67 off 50 balls before being run out on the last ball of the 19th over; Harry Brook banged three sixes in his 72, and perhaps only a handful of Yorkshire supporters thought it was going to bring them home.
After Lancashire had made 183-7 having chosen to bat, Yorkshire finished on 183-5, Harry Brook fell on the final ball of the game as Richard Gleeson trapped him for an Lbw. For, in the final over, which was frantic and ridiculous, even by the standards of these meetings, Lancashire managed to draw level with Yorkshire as Richard Gleeson trapped Harry Brook leg before wicket for 72 on the final ball of the 20th over, with the Vikes needing only one run from the stumps, in order to win the T20 game at Emirates Old Trafford for the first time since 2014.
The draw was a cruel bit of luck on both sides. If one run is needed on the final ball and a batter in prolific form is at crease, the bet is always on the batting side but that’s the way cricket goes. It is unpredictable and exciting beyond the capacity of moments. In the points table, Yorkshire is at third place in the North Group having played two, losing one and winning one. On the other hand, it was opening match for Lancashire and they are at 6th place in the North Group points table.
