Yorkshire defeat Sussex by 184 runs in One Day Cup at Hove

Yorkshire secured a dominant victory over the Sussex Sharks in the Metro Bank One Day Cup at Hove. Batting first, Yorkshire posted 325‑7 in the rain‑reduced 48‑over innings, driven by Will Luxton’s 117‑run knock and a 160‑run fourth‑wicket partnership with Sam Whiteman. The side’s only change was Ben Coad for Jack White.

Sussex were bowled out for 140 in 27.5 overs, with Sussex bowler Ollie Kirtley, Toby Munt and Sean Hunt replacing injured teammates. The Sharks’ innings faltered after a quick loss of wickets at 21‑5, and they could not recover the required total. Yorkshire won by 184 runs (D/L method), earning two points in the competition.

The match marked Yorkshire’s second win of three and left Sussex winless after three games, prompting further opportunities for younger players in the squad.
