Milestone
That brings us to the end of our coverage. Till the next time it's ta-da from me (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty), my fellow commentator Ishan and our scorer Ashok Dayma.
Arya- It was Nottinghamshire skipper Steven Mullaney who won the toss and put Worcestershire in. It wasn’t the greatest of starts for Worcestershire as they could only manage 9 runs in the first two overs, before Jake Ball dismissed Jake Libby with a good delivery. Colin Munro was the next man in and he announced his arrival in the crease with a bang.
The swashbuckling left-hander provided the much-needed impetus in the powerplay as he blazed his way through to 27 of just 13 deliveries before being castled by Jake Ball in the final delivery of the powerplay. Ball also bagged the wicket of Brett DOliveira early in the over and the hosts were under a bit of pressure. Moeen Ali struck some meaty blows to get the scoreboard moving in the middle overs which Notts needed desperately.
Kashif Ali couldn't quite get going during his 22 balls 23 and was eventually dismissed by Soloman Budinger. It looked like Nottinghamshire will tighten the screws around just when Ed Barnard smashed a quickfire 23 balls 39 which eventually propelled them to a score of 159 runs in their allotted 20 overs.
Arya- Worcestershire needed early wickets to defend this score and it was exactly what happened in the second delivery of the run-chase. Joe Clarke came dancing down the track and ended up carving a back-of-a-length delivery outside off from Mitchell Stanley straight down the throat of the deep third man fielder.
Alex Hales and Soloman Budinger got the run-chase back on track. Hales smashed back-to-back sixes before guiding one straight to the keeper.
Soloman Budinger who was also looking in great touch was dismissed in the earlier over after scoring 24 of just 12 deliveries. With three wickets down, Nottinghamshire was certainly under a lot of pressure. That was when Ben Duckett took the onus on hismelf to take the run-chase deep and then make it look ridiculously easy towards the end.
Dwayne Bravo had a great start to spell bagging the wicket of Mullaney but he went for 14 runs in that over itself which turned the momentum towards Nottinghamshire. Duckett looked in great shape and played some innovative shots to keep the scoreboard ticking and also ensured that the required rate never went up drastically.
He got able support from Tom Moores towards the end of the run-chase. Another left-hander, the duo ensured that the target was achieved without any more blip-ups. Moores remained unbeaten on 26 of 15 deliveries while the match-winning performance came from Ben Duckett who remained undefeated on 62 of 44 deliveries.
18.4 D Bravo to T Moores
6 And that is the end of the game. Victory with a six for Nottinghamshire Outlaws. Shortish length this time from Bravo and that has been slapped away over the long-off fence for a maximum. That was more of a tennis shot to be honest. A thoroughly convincing run-chase in the end for the Outlaws.
18.3 D Bravo to B Duckett
1 This will tie the scores, Duckett wanted to finish with a glory shot but Bravo bowls a wide yorker and denies him the feat. Dug out down the deep cover-point region for a single.
18.2 D Bravo to T Moores
1 Good-length delivery on the stumps, Moores tries to nudge it away down the on side and ends up getting a leading edge down the deep point region and takesa single. Just two needed now.
18.1 D Bravo to T Moores
4 That has been eased away over the mid-off fielder for a boundary. Fuller this time from Bravo, a tad outside off and Moores launches into that. Up and over and that is a boundary.
18.1 D Bravo to T Moores
WD Bravo starts off with a wide. Goes for the wide yorker but well outside the tramline and he has to reload that.

17.6 P Brown to T Moores
1 Moores heaves away the back of a length delivery on the stumps down towards the long-on region and takesa single.
17.5 P Brown to B Duckett
1 Full one this time outside off, Duckett has carved that away brilliantly through the gap down the cover region and takes a single.
17.4 P Brown to B Duckett
4 One bounce and over the ropes. Pennington runs after that but to no avail. Fullish one well outside off, Duckett shuffles across the off-stump, gets well across and manages to ramp that away well over the deep fine leg fence for a boundary.
17.4 P Brown to B Duckett
NB That has been dug halfway down and goes over the head of Duckett. No-balled called by the umpire.
17.3 P Brown to B Duckett
6 That has been swung away from the centre of the bat and it goes sailing well over the deep backward square leg fence. Was a poor delivery from Brown. On the leg-stump and that has been slog swept from his presence and it clears the fielder quite comfortably. Duckett is looking to finish things quickly.
17.2 P Brown to T Moores
1 Moores edges that one away down the deep third man region for a single.
17.1 P Brown to B Duckett
1 Good-length delivery on the stumps and that has been turned away down the midwicket area by Duckett and completes his 3rd half-century of the tournament.
