Key Stats

Match ka turning point ye ho sakta hai ki NOT ki efficiency edges SUR ke higher season scoring momentum ke against hold karti hain ya nahi.
Haynes sets, Surrey stall
Jack Haynes’ 75 was the innings that kept Nottinghamshire ahead of the game, but the decisive twist came at the back end of Surrey’s chase. Jason Roy had them tracking the target through a 101-run stand with Laurie Evans, yet Nottinghamshire held their nerve in the final overs to win by 7 runs, dragging Surrey from a position of comfort into a finish-line scramble.
Death overs slam the door
The match swung almost entirely in the last five overs. Surrey were 128/3 after 15, needing a manageable 36 from 30 balls, but Nottinghamshire’s bowlers shut down the boundary options and forced errors: just 28 came in the death phase, with four wickets falling. That late choke contrasted sharply with Surrey’s brisk powerplay (46/0) and kept Roy’s 76 from 50 balls from becoming a match-winning anchor.
Jordan shines, Linde answers
Chris Jordan was outstanding for Surrey, conceding only 22 while taking 3 wickets, and he helped keep Nottinghamshire to 163/6 when a bigger total was on offer. Haynes’ 68-run partnership with Joe Pocklington provided the platform, but George Linde’s 2/23 was the control act that made the chase uncomfortable. Stone’s 2/23 added the punch, striking at key moments to turn pressure into wickets when Surrey tried to accelerate.
Pre-match edges show up late
The pre-game read was that Nottinghamshire’s small efficiency advantages could matter if they could keep Surrey from running away with the scoring rate. That’s exactly how it played out: Surrey’s season momentum showed early, but Nottinghamshire’s tighter execution at the end outweighed it. Even after a quiet powerplay with the bat (34/2), Nottinghamshire rebuilt through the middle overs and ensured Surrey would need a clean finish rather than a cruise.
