Tom Kohler-Cadmore hit his highest score of the season to help his team Somerset win the Vitality T20 Blast 2024 quarter-final match against the Northamptonshire Steelbacks on Thursday.
Kohler-Cadmore, who plays for the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League, scored 63 runs in 43 balls, with the help of two fours and five sixes, at the County Ground in Northampton. He reached his half-century off 38 balls.
It was Kohler-Cadmore’s second fifty of T20 Blast 2024. He has played 14 matches this season in the tournament, scoring 365 runs at an average of 30.41 and a strike rate of 141.47.
The 30-year-old Kohler-Cadmore forged a 125-run stand in 69 balls with top-scorer Tom Banton, whose 75 off 43 earned him the Player of the Match.
The partnership helped defending champions Somerset score 215/3 in 20 overs and win the match by 17 runs.
Ben Sanderson was the pick of the bowlers for Northamptonshire, picking 1/23 in his four overs. In the chase, captain David Willey top-scored with 57 runs off 39 balls but tight bowling from Somerset meant Northamptonshire could only manage 198/5 in their 20 overs. Lewis Gregory scalped 3/35 in his four overs for Somerset.
Somerset will play Surrey in the T20 Blast 2024 semi-final on September 14.
