As we gear up for the 2025 Vitality Blast, we take a weekly look at an iconic Friday Night Falcons T20 moment at The County Ground. This week, we head back to 2017 and some Imran Tahir magic against Worcestershire Rapids.
Defending 146-8 and knowing victory was crucial to securing a place in the quarter-finals, Tahir delighted the The County Ground crowd with expert spin bowling and wild celebrations alike, as he claimed 4-17 as the Rapids were bowled out for just 98.
