5 July 2025
Bears boosted their chances of qualifying for the Vitality Blast quarter-finals for a fifth consecutive season as they eased past Leicestershire Foxes at the Uptonsteel County Ground, winning by six wickets with 10 balls to spare. The Foxes were bowled out for 154 in 19.3 overs, Pakistan international pace bowler Hassan Ali finishing with four for 22, with all four wickets in the opening powerplay. Sol Budinger made 51 off 24 balls, but all-rounder Logan Van Beek’s 26 was the next-best score, with Richard Gleeson and Danny Briggs picking up two wickets each for the Bears. Half-centuries from Sam Hain (55 from 38 balls) and Dan Mousley (64 not out from 48) then got the job done as the Bears moved level on 20 points with the Foxes in a tight North Group.
