Somerset Women defeated Yorkshires Women by five runs in the One-Day Cup on Wednesday. The match finished 130 all out for Somerset against 125 for the hosts. It was a tight contest from start to finish.
Yorkshires sit eighth in the table with 16 points from 11 games. Somerset move further clear in third place with 27 points after twelve matches. The gap between them widens a touch.
The hosts had lost three of their last five games before this one. Yorkshires dropped 171-172 to Surrey and 269-202 to Warwickshire in recent outings. They showed they could compete but couldn't quite close it out.
Somerset's recent form tells a different story. They beat Durham 248-251 and Essex 266-267 in back-to-back matches. That fourth straight win puts them on the brink of something special.
Five runs separated two sides who both batted solidly. The result keeps Somerset within striking distance of the top spot. Yorkshires need to find a way to win these tight encounters next time.
