Luke Hollman's unbeaten 83 powers Middlesex past Durham into first final in 36 years

Luke Hollman hit an unbeaten 83 to steer Middlesex to a two-wicket victory over Durham in the One-Day Cup semi-final, booking their first List A final since 1990.

Middlesex secured a dramatic two-wicket win over Durham in the One-Day Cup semi-final held at Radlett, advancing to their first List A final since 1990. Chasing 255, Middlesex were precariously placed at 145-7 after 30 overs before Luke Hollman unleashed an unbeaten 83, partnering with Tom Helm for a decisive 79-run stand. Durham's Colin Ackermann contributed an unbeaten 71 with the bat and claimed three wickets earlier, yet his efforts fell short.

Ben Stokes re-entered Durham's attack late but failed to add to the solitary wicket taken by Josh de Caires. Hollman also claimed three wickets, dismissing top-scorer Will Rhodes for 80, while Naavya Sharma and Zafar Gohar each took two wickets for Middlesex. The Foxes will face Leicestershire, who defeated Notts Outlaws by 23 runs, in the final at Trent Bridge on 20 September.

Why it matters

The win sends Middlesex to their first major one-day final in over three decades, reviving historic success for the club.
