George Munsey’s incredible 138 powered Notts to the Quarter-Finals of the Metro Bank One Day Cup after beating Surrey by six wickets.
Munsey’s incredible innings followed a fightback with the ball where Dillon Pennington took four wickets as the hosts were bowled out for 298, having once been 175/0.
The Scotland international's maiden Notts century was supported by fifties from Haseeb Hameed and Kyle Verreynne to see Notts through to the next round, where they will face Yorkshire at York CC on Friday 14 August.
After winning the toss, Surrey got off to an impeccable start with Dom Sibley and Ryan Patel scoring freely and comfortably.
From the opening ten overs, the hosts were 58/0 and they continued their partnership as Patel closed in on his half-century with three sixes in two overs.
They soon reached their hundred partnership at the end of the 15th over as Sibley followed Patel in reaching his fifty.
At the halfway stage, the pair were still unbeaten and had piled the runs on to reach 154/0.
Soon followed Patel’s magnificent century from 88 balls which included 12 boundaries.
However three balls later, Dillon Pennington would take the big wicket and break the partnership to instantly swing momentum.
Freddie McCann would bowl Jason Roy for 2 before Pennington struck again in the following over to remove Rory Burns for a duck as he found Farhan Ahmed at deep fine leg.
Ahmed would soon get into the wickets and remove the remaining opener Dom Sibley for 64.
It meant Notts had dragged themselves back into the game and slowed the run rate as the hosts were 218/4 from 40 overs.
A fifty partnership between Adam Thomas and Ollie Sykes would soon be broken up thanks to James Hayes who bowled very well at the death.
It would then bring Pennington back into the attack who took two scalps in the 47th over, removing Blake before bowling a perfect short ball which saw Chahar nick it to the hands of Verreynne.
He would end with figures of 4-54 before Hayes would take the final wicket to end with two scalps.
The impressive fightback meant Notts needed 299 to win at The Oval.
Freddie McCann and Ben Martindale saw out the early stages with Dan Worrall impressing in the opening overs.
He would strike to take the early wicket of Martindale for 6. It meant that after the first powerplay Outlaws were 38/1 but with Munsey at the crease.
McCann would eventually fall after three successive run-getting reverse sweeps, with his fourth finding the hands of Ealham.
Hameed and Munsey found their rhythm though in impressive fashion and played some nice shots while keeping the scoreboard ticking to lower the required run-rate.
The latter would move to his half-century from 54 balls and see Notts to 120/2 at the half-way stage.
Munsey and Hameed would go on to add 109 and place Notts firmly in the contest after the skipper’s third half-century in a row.
But on his return from international duty, it was Munsey who did the damage, moving to 138 before departing with Notts needing less than 20 runs to win.
He would finish with 130 runs from 132 balls with 15 boundaries and his partnership with Verreynne worth 119.
Verreynne would be there at the end to score his fifth half-century of the campaign, with Lyndon James striking the winning runs to see the Outlaws home.
