That's the end of the game and Worcestershire wrap up a massive victory winning by 7 wickets. Western Australia was never in the game but that is more down to Worcestershire's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. Stunning upset and a fantastic result for Worcestershire! They came into the game as underdogs but showed plenty of grit and determination to fell the more favoured Western Australias.

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Western Australia will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers will be pleased to move on from here. The pitch was flat as a pancake and did not offer much assistance either way. Oh dear - if you're a Somerset supporter, I'm afraid the scorecard makes for pretty poor reading. Western Australia simply showed more hunger for the win today and they will deservedly take all the accolades for the performance they put in.

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Royal Challengers Bangalore will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. Western Australia really were on a hiding to nothing. They were never expected to win today against Royal Challengers Bangalore and that's exactly how it played out.
