'The match isn't over until it's over' is one of the common sayings that are often said in cricket so there must be a reason why someone would have said it for the first time. That person would have probably seen some unreal performance where a team lost the match after most of the opposition supporters had left the stadium in disappointment. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Or, that person would have probably foreseen Sussex having an epic collapse against Gloucestershire in a run chase they were in complete control till 13 overs. Tom Alsop and Fynn Hudson-Prentice had added 70 runs in 54 balls for the third wicket as Sussex were cruising to an easy win. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sussex needed 29 runs from 38 balls when an epic collapse happened. Tom Smith got Hudson-Prentice and Alsop stumped in the space of three balls. But the score still read 119\/4 and the requirement was still less than a run-a-ball. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, Sussex kept losing wickets in each over and Gloucestershire's hopes of making a comeback from a helpless situation kept increasing. Sussex somehow got the equation down to nine runs off the last over but they only had one wicket left. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
David Payne finally got Steven Finn to top edge the ball and James Bracey took a great high catch as Gloucestershire defended the 145-run target by four runs and register an epic win in the T20 Blast. Sussex lost eight wickets for 23 runs in six overs. <\/p>\r\n
