Glamorgan v Leicestershire
Leicestershire will play Surrey in the final of the Twenty20 Cup after an easy 21-run victory over Glamorgan.
The Foxes' Darren Maddy became the first player to pass 500 runs in the tournament when he hit a 40-ball 72.
Glamorgan got off to a disastrous start in reply to Leicestershire's competitive 165-5, slumping to 30-3.
David Hemp hit 44 but it was not enough as Glamorgan were bowled out for 144, with both Mike Cleary and Claude Henderson taking three wickets.
Cleary, who took 3-20 in three overs, also contributed with a direct hit to dismiss Adrian Dale, while Henderson returned 3-26.
Leicestershire were always in the ascendancy after winning the toss and putting on 82 for the first wicket.
They were pegged back in the final 10 overs as wickets fell and they lost their momentum.
Glamorgan skipper Robert Croft took 2-27 in four overs with his spin
