| Scorecard |
Leicestershire won their first List A trophy in 38 years as they beat Hampshire off the last ball to win the One-Day Cup final at Trent Bridge.
After slumping to 19-4, Harry Swindells' stunning unbeaten century helped the Foxes to a total of 267-7.
Hampshire looked likely to get there, especially after half-centuries from Tom Prest (51) and Liam Dawson (57).
But, with eight needed off the last over, Dawson holed out - and they fell short to lose by two runs.
Although 19-year-old Josh Hull was a hero at the end, limiting Hampshire to just five off the last over, the star of the show was another home-grown product Swindells.
He became the first Leicestershire player to score a century in a limited-overs final since Roger Tolchard at Lord's in 1972.
His 117 not out was also the highest score in a final since Rilee Rossouw made 125 not out to help Hampshire beat Kent at Lord's in 2018.
