Middlesex beat Leicestershire by 31 runs at Trent Bridge to win the Metro Bank Men’s One-Day Cup, securing their first white-ball trophy since 2008. After collapsing to 71-5, Middlesex recovered through Ryan Higgins’ century and Harry Duke’s half-century before defending a modest total in a tense final.

Higgins made 100 from 115 balls, while Duke scored 55 in a sixth-wicket stand worth 135; Ian Holland took 5-36 for Leicestershire. The Foxes reached 200, led by Nick Kelly’s 103, but his dismissal immediately after reaching three figures changed the match, with Toby Roland-Jones taking 3-27 and Tom Helm 3-32 as Middlesex finished the job.
