Somerset and Glamorgan must wait for the One-Day Cup final.
| Somerset and Glamorgan must wait for the One-Day Cup final. |
There was no play at Trent Bridge on the scheduled date of the One-Day Cup final, so Somerset and Glamorgan were left to sit and watch the rain.
Monday, September 23, has been set aside as a reserve day; nevertheless, the weather is still not looking good, with additional heavy rain expected to impact the Midlands.
In the event that the sides are unable to complete a 20-over match, the clubs are expected to split the trophy.
Supporters from both counties were left frustrated in the grandstand after umpires David Millns and Rob White made the inevitable call at 14:30 BST as the rain got heavier and pools of water appeared on the pitch.
Both teams are hopeful that the 50-over competition will make up for their previous setbacks, which included Surrey winning the County Championship and Somerset losing to neighboring rivals Gloucestershire in the T20 Blast final.
Glamorgan's decline to seventh place in Division Two of the Championship has made it more important to replicate their 2021 trophy victory in the 50-over format.
A total cancellation of the game would exacerbate the dispute among county fans regarding the final's late-September scheduling—a comparable date has already been set for 2025.
