David Willey marked his 50th game as Northamptonshire Steelbacks’ T20 captain by guiding them to a sixth successive Vitality Blast victory as they overcame Worcestershire Royals at Wantage Road.
The Steelbacks skipper claimed two for 28 with the ball and then top-scored with 47 from 33 balls, sharing a decisive stand of 69 with Justin Broad – and passing 5,000 T20 career runs in the process.
A second-wicket partnership of 62 from 48 between Gareth Roderick and Brett D’Oliveira anchored the Rapids’ total of 154 for five from 18 overs after they were put in, with Sikandar Raza adding an unbeaten 36 from 24.
