Chris Lynn’s record-breaking century secured a home quarter-final in the Vitality Blast for the Northamptonshire Steelbacks with two games to spare after a sailing win by 53 runs in Cardiff.
The veteran Australian opener proved all the weight of his over 9,000 career T20 runs with 117 from 56 balls, the highest individual score by a Northants batter, on their way to 217 for 7. Calvin Harrison, the other standout performer of the Steelbacks’ campaign ensured the chase was shut out early with 3 for 20 as Glamorgan were bowled out by 164.
