LONDON, Sept 7: Wasim Akram8217;s Lancashire could land their second English County One-day title after their victory in the Natwest Trophy.
The Pakistani all-rounder captained Lancashire to the 60 overs Natwest Trophy yesterday when they trounced Derbyshire by nine wickets in the Lord8217;s final, and they could follow that by clinching the 40-overs league crown.
Lancashire need to win one of their two remaining league matches to be certain of the title, and they play fifth-placed Hampshire at Old Trafford today.
Nearest rivals Essex, who had led the table for much of the season, suffered a second successive defeat yesterday which left them four points behind Lancashire with only one game 8212; worth four points to the winners 8212; still to play.
