2026 Metro Bank One-Day Cup

Overview

In late July 2026 the Metro Bank One-Day Cup progressed through several group‑stage matches. On 28 July, Sussex Sharks beat Essex Men by five wickets at Arundel Castle Cricket Club, chasing a target of 317 with Jack Leaning’s unbeaten 59 and a 99‑run partnership with captain Jack Carson, moving Sussex up the group standings while Essex fell back.

Three days later, on 31 July, Essex rebounded by posting 376‑5 against Worcestershire Rapids at Chelmsford, driven by Tom Westley’s 129 and Matt Critchley’s unbeaten 102, securing a 107‑run victory. The same day other fixtures produced mixed results: Middlesex defeated Yorkshire at Lord’s, and later Worcestershire edged Middlesex in a chase of 293, highlighted by Jake Libby’s unbeaten 109. These outcomes show the shifting fortunes of the teams as the tournament moves toward its knockout phase.
