Glamorgan 281 for 8 (Nicholls 70, Hope-Bell 58, van der Gugten 45, Gorvin25*) beat Worcestershire 278 for 9 (Libby 105, Cullen 77, Zain 4-58) by two wicketsAndy Gorvin produced a moment of redemption as Glamorgan completed an extraordinary two-wicket victory over Worcestershire Rapids from the final ball of a thrilling Metro Bank One-Day Cup encounter at Sophia Gardens.
But fresh from three consecutive hundreds, Libby again proved the architect of his side's recovery, producing another masterclass in low-risk batting.
Their discipline was eventually rewarded when Libby, looking to increase the tempo after reaching three figures, holed out to Van der Gugten at mid-on off 19-year-old seamer Tom Edwards for 105 from 114 balls.
The dismissal sparked a collapse of 5 for 29 as the innings closed on 278 for 9.
Nicholls followed soon after for 70, and when Dan Douthwaite fell at 225 for 7, Glamorgan's hopes looked all but extinguished.
