Daisy Jeanes produced a career-best performance as Glamorgan secured their second Vitality Blast Division Two victory, defeating Derbyshire by 92 runs. Jeanes dominated with 14 boundaries, helping Glamorgan recover from a mid-innings wobble where four wickets fell for eight runs. Her innings propelled the home side to a competitive 168-run total.

Derbyshire started promisingly with 14 runs in the first over but slumped to 75 all out after just 14.3 overs. The visitors collapsed to 41-4 in the powerplay as Glamorgan's bowlers seized control. Cobb's impressive figures of three wickets for 10 runs put Glamorgan firmly in command during the second innings.

Glamorgan captain Jeanes credited the team approach after the victory. "We set ourselves up with a really good total to defend with the ball," she stated, noting their strategy of using the hard ball during the powerplay. The emphatic victory strengthens Glamorgan's position in the Vitality Blast table with two convincing wins in their opening matches.
