In a repeat of last year’s final, when Hampshire made 265-5 and looked on course for victory, only to be undone by a stunning Harry Swindells century, this time they had Leicestershire in even more trouble.
Skipper Nick Gubbins hit his highest List A score for Hampshire, a superb 136, backed up by Liam Dawson’s 50 and 18-year-old Dominic Kelly’s 39 from just 20 balls as the visitors posted 290-8.
Leicestershire’s star duo, Australia’s Peter Handscomb (74) and India’s Ajinkya Rahane (70) then shared a fourth-wicket stand of 128.
But, when Rahane went, they were 188-6 in the 35th over and it looked like Hampshire would avenge that 2023 Trent Bridge final.
But the Foxes were not done, largely thanks to a seventh-wicket stand of 94 in 82 balls between Liam Trevaskis (60 not out) and Ben Cox (45).
But, although Cox was caught in the deep, Tom Scriven came in to help Trevaskis get the job done.
