Hemel Hempstead claimed a seven-wicket win over St Albans in their Home Counties Twenty20 Cup tie.

St Albans got off to a cracking start hitting nearly 50 in the first five overs. Level heads then reined them in with Cam Hutcheon taking one for 20 in his four overs and Mark Brazier picked up two for 29 as St Albans reached 152 for seven.

Hemel had some abrasive batting at the top of their order with Brett Penny (40 from 44 balls) and Joe Carter (39 from 36 balls) leading the way and then Brazier smashed 27 from ten balls to win the game.
