A thrilling one-run victory for Glamorgan over Warickshire in the County Second XI Championship fixture. With 2 runs needed for Warickshire to win, Mohammed Rizvi's bowling sealed the win for Glamorgan with wickets to spare.

It was a nail-biting finish at the SSE Swalec Stadium, Cardiff, for the County Second XI Championship fixture between Glamorgan and Warwickshire. With 2 runs needed to win off the last over and wickets in hand, it looked like Warwickshire would edge out a win. However, Glamorgan's Mohammed Rizvi had other plans, as he bowled a miraculous last over to seal a thrilling one-run victory for his team.

The match began with Glamorgan opting to bat first, and they posted a competitive total of 233 runs on the board. A quickfire half-century by Ben Cooke (56 off 49) and a valuable knock of 44 runs by Tom Cullen helped them to a respectable total.

In response, Warwickshire's top order struggled to get going, losing early wickets. But Sam Hain's resilient knock of 72 runs off 111 balls kept his team in the game. When the visitors needed 2 runs to win off the last over, Rizvi managed to scalp three wickets in the final over, including that of Hain, to clinch a thrilling victory for his side.

The win was sealed by exceptional bowling by Rizvi, who finished with impressive figures of 5/88, and 2 run-outs in the final over. It was a devastating display of bowling under pressure, which ultimately led to the thrilling one-run victory for Glamorgan's second XI.

This was undoubtedly a match that will be remembered by everyone who witnessed it. It was a fitting end to a highly competitive game of cricket and perhaps a preview of future thrilling encounters between the two sides.
