Luke Hollman's unbeaten 83 powered Middlesex to a two-wicket victory over Durham in the One-Day Cup semi-final at Radlett, securing their first List A final since 1990. Middlesex chased 255 with resilience after struggling at 145-7, as Hollman and Tom Helm (40) added a crucial 79-run partnership. Durham's Colin Ackermann top-scored with 71* and took 3-46, but spin bowlers Naavya Sharma and Zafar Gohar (2 wickets each) restricted them to 254-7.

Middlesex will face Leicestershire at Trent Bridge on September 20. Ackermann's 3-53 included the wicket of Durham's Will Rhodes (80), while former England captain Ben Stokes made a late appearance but failed to break the deadlock. The win marked a dramatic turnaround, with Middlesex's tailend contributing 110 runs in the final 10 overs.
