28.09.26, 12:03 2 Minute Read
Worcestershire (19 points) 214 and 206 bt Derbyshire (3 points) 88 and 157 (Reece 49, Allison 6-42, Gibbon 4-28) by 175 runs.
Ben Allison’s first-class career-best of 6-42 in overall match figures of 11-64 drove Worcestershire to a comprehensive 175-run victory over Derbyshire inside three days in a one-sided Rothesay County Championship clash at New Road.
Setting the visitors 333 to win, Derbyshire subsided to 39-6, with Allison’s second five wicket haul of the match inflicting the most damage. Luis Reece and Amrit Basra stemmed the flow with a fifty-run stand for the seventh wicket, with Reece taking a lead role in the afternoon session as he made his way to a gritty 49, but once his wicket fell the hosts hurried to victory. Ben Gibbon’s season best return of 4-28 sealed victory for the Pears midway through the afternoon, as Derbyshire were bowled out for 157 and consigned to a 175-run defeat.
