LIMITED overs skipper Jigar Naik admitted Dorset would face an anxious wait over qualification for Unicorns T20 finals day.

The Minor Counties outfit rounded off their Group Four campaign with a win and a loss against Cornwall in a double-header at St Austell – meaning they top the table with 10 points.

But Naik is fully aware his charges are now powerless to deny Devon the chance to progress to the showpiece finale at Wormsley on Sunday, August 26.

Devon, who are two points behind Dorset, know two home wins against Wales on Sunday, June 17, would see them progress.

Naik said: “It will be an anxious wait and we just have to see what happens. Ideally we would have liked it in our control but we have to wait on other results.

“I’d like to say we have done enough but you never know. Most sides are winning one game and losing one. We just have to hope. It’s a difficult one to call.”

Cornwall can still cement top spot via net run-rate, but must win their remaining two games against bottom side Wiltshire and hope Devon’s results go their way.

Two wins for Wales would also see them join Dorset on 10 points.

Naik’s men cruised to a five-wicket victory in their opening match against Cornwall and had looked set to record two wins as Cornwall chased 23 from the final two overs, but Matt Rowe (33no) and James Turpin (10no) steered the hosts to a final-ball victory.

Giving his reaction to both matches, Naik said: “The lads put their hands up in the first game and restricted them to less than a run-a-ball, so you can’t really fault that.

“The way we chased it down with Alex and Ed partnering him was excellent to see.

“We changed our plans in the second game. I lost the toss but we wanted to bat anyway.

“We were happy with the total we had. Getting 136 was a great effort on that wicket but they came out positively.

“We had the second game in our hands but couldn’t quite grasp it. It was a tough final two overs and they came out all guns blazing.”
