Chris Lynn led the way with a blistering 75 off 37 balls as Northamptonshire Steelbacks posted 238 for six against Essex to set up a resounding 130-run victory in the Vitality Blast at the cinch County Ground, Northampton.
The monumental total was Northamptonshire’s second highest T20 total ever, and their highest at home and came after a brutal display of hitting between Lynn and fellow opener Ricardo Vasconcelos (44) in the powerplay. The pair crunched 85 off the first six overs, another record for the Steelbacks.
