Former India captain Sourav Ganguly had another forgettable Twenty-20 Cup outing, scoring 10 runs for Northamptonshire, who were held to a thrilling draw by Somerset.

However, the right-handed batsman picked two wickets in as many overs after Somerset elected to bat first and made 151 for nine in their 20 overs.

In their reply, Northamptonshire were well-served by an unbeaten 49-ball 64 by Usman Afzaal.

Ganguly hit two fours in his 11-ball knock before edging the ball to Somerset wicketkeeper Carl Gazzard.

Three Northants batsmen were dismissed for a duck as the hosts, needing two runs off the last ball for a win, could manage just one and had to settle for a draw.

In his first Twenty20 match on Tuesday, Ganguly had scored 15 runs against Warwickshire, who won by 24 runs.

The former captain is on a six-week stint with Northamptonshire and is banking on his performance with the county side to make a comeback to the Indian team.
