The 2015 Royal London One-Day Cup tournament was the scheduled limited overs cricket competition for 2015 season of England and Wales first-class counties.[1][2] It was won by Gloucestershire County Cricket Club, who defeated Surrey by the narrow margin of six runs, despite a hat-trick from Jade Dernbach, in what was described as 'a thrilling finish'.[3] The title was Gloucestershire's first trophy since the 2004 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy,[4] when they defeated a Worcestershire side that included 2015 Surrey captain Gareth Batty.[5]
Format
The competition consisted of two groups of nine teams, with the top four teams from each group progress to the quarter-finals.[1] The groups for the 2015 season were drawn and are shown below in their respective groups.[6]
