Worcestershire Rapids, 142 for four, beat Warwickshire Bears, 141 all out, by six wickets. 

Worcestershire Rapids handed arch-rivals Warwickshire Bears a third successive Vitality Blast defeat with an emphatic six-wicket victory in the big derby at New Road. 

The Bears were restricted to a modest 141 all out from 19.5 overs as only Rob Yates (45 from 31 balls) and Jordan Thompson (37, 31) reached 20 against an attack of collective accuracy, led by Usama Mir (three for 27) and Tom Taylor (two for 17).
