Surrey secured their first win in the Vitality Blast Men 2025 thanks to the impressive efforts of three players: Jason Roy, Sam Curran, and Chris Jordan. As Glamorgan won the toss and chose to field first, Surrey took the chance to overwhelm them with a good display of batting. 

Earlier in the game, Jason Roy scored a half-century to boost Surrey’s standing to 149 for 8. To back this up, team captain Sam Curran also took 3 for 18. This win signified the team captain’s first win as Surrey’s leader. 

However, their win didn’t come easily. Hardships were brought soon after Jason Roy did his 50 in 37. Other players struggled to keep up and pitched slowly, which the opposing bowlers took advantage of. Roy was dismissed, but this gave Nathan Gregory Smith the chance to show off and hit a six. 

In retaliation, Glamorgan did their best to take some points for themselves. Their batting was great, and this effort put Surrey in a pinch. One notable batting was from William Smale, who did a ramp and scored a six. 

In the end, the introduction of Sam Curran and Chris Jordan reversed the advantage and ultimately handed the victory to Surrey.

The strong partnership and impressive play from Glamorgan’s Kiran Carlson and Andy Gorvin were not enough to defeat Leicestershire’s superior performance. Despite Carlson’s century and Gorvin’s half-century, Leics still managed to seal a 10-wicket win. 

Bowler Ian Holland secured four wickets for 46 runs on top of his previous three wickets in the first innings. Ben Green bowled tightly as well, returning the pressure to Glam. 

Leics faced injury concerns ahead of their next match against Derbyshire, with Chris Wright limping off midway through an over after scoring 74 and Rishi Patel still sidelined due to a damaged thumb. However, this didn’t stop the team from continuing their striking performance. 

As the third day started, Glam wanted to retake their momentum. Gorvin managed to take wickets from Cox and Wright in just 18 balls. With Leics just securing one run, Glam started to stand back up on its feet. 

But this didn’t last long when Carlson got out. Gorvin remained standing, but Glam’s efforts were not enough to withstand the Foxesâ€?onslaught. They only needed 51 runs to win in their second innings, which Sol Budinger and Rehan Ahmed made quick work of.
