Notts Outlaws Knock Yorkshire Out of the One-Day Cup as Haynes and Verreynne Centuries Seal Quarter-Final Win
Notts Outlaws booked their place in the One-Day Cup semi-finals by beating Yorkshire in their quarter-final at York on 14 August 2026 — a result built on two List A centuries and a late flourish with the ball.
Chasing Yorkshire's 273-9, Notts rode hundreds from Jack Haynes and Kyle Verreynne to reach their target with overs to spare. Haynes brought up his third List A hundred — List A being the 50-over format that sits between international one-dayers and domestic T20s — while Verreynne, the South African wicketkeeper-batter, made 105 off 123 balls. Together they took the game away from a Yorkshire side that had posted what looked like a competitive total. BBC Sport
Yorkshire's innings had been anchored by 19-year-old Will Bennison, who scored a first-team best of 91. Coming in as a youngster with limited senior experience, Bennison's innings gave Yorkshire a platform — 273-9 is a score that asks real questions of any chasing side in 50-over cricket. Ben Coad then kept Yorkshire in the contest with the ball, returning figures of 5-52 to give his team a genuine sniff.
But Notts had depth where it mattered. Dillon Pennington contributed with both ball and bat: four wickets to help contain Yorkshire, then 22 off 18 balls to push Notts over the line when the chase briefly tightened. His all-round display meant Yorkshire's lower-order resistance and Coad's five-for were not quite enough. BBC Sport
The win keeps Notts in pursuit of a trophy they last lifted at Lord's in 2017. Yorkshire, under head coach Anthony McGrath, saw their run ended in the last eight — a tournament that had looked promising for them after a strong group stage. Lancashire, Durham, and Notts were among the sides that came through the group phase when it concluded on 11 August, with six teams still in contention for the title heading into Friday's quarter-finals.

For Notts, the combination of Haynes's composure and Verreynne's accumulation proved the difference. Two set batters, a hundred each, and a chase absorbed without panic. That is the old formula in 50-over cricket, and it still works.
