Ganguly, who came to open the innings with Australian Matthew Elliott, lasted only single delivery from C Greenidge and left Glamorgan reeling at just 5 at one stage.

Put in to bat, Glamorgan were 128 for 9 in their stipulated 20 overs but Gloucestershire reached the target in 17.1 overs losing only three wickets.

The Indian captain also bowled a single over but ended up conceding six runs.

Elsewhere, Dinesh Mongia's batting failed to fire once again and he was sent packing with only seven runs to his credit as Leicestershire lost to Derbyshire by seven wickets.

Leicestershire, for whom only H Ackerman made a significant contribution with 39 while Ian Hunter took three wickets in an impressive bowling display, made 137 in 20 overs.

Due to a brief interruption in the match, Duckworth-Lewis calculation was needed and Derbyshire easily reached their 103-run target as Luke Sutton made 42 from 32 balls.
