COLIN Ingram is hoping a bumper Cardiff crowd will inspire Glamorgan to glory when they host Yorkshire in the quarter-finals of the NatWest T20 Blast.

Ingram is arguably one of the form white-ball cricketers in the global game and the South African smashed a century at Chelmsford in yesterday's abandoned clash with Essex.

The left-hander will be a key figure when Glamorgan welcome Yorkshire to the SSE Swalec Stadium on Thursday, August 11 in a bid to make T20 finals day at Edgbaston.

Ingram added: "We have played well at home this season in white-ball cricket, bar one hiccup, and it will be nice if we get a lot of people through the gates against Yorkshire.

"We have been playing good cricket in the white-ball stuff so there is no reason why we can't put some more results together."

On his own form he said: "It is always nice when it is going well. It was probably not my prettiest innings but at the death it went really well. It has been a good couple of weeks and I'm trying to make the most of it and respect it.

"I am the type of guy who likes to play cricket and I was disappointed when the rain came. But it was nice to come and put a good total on the board. We are getting to the business end of the season and it is a good time to be putting runs on the board."

T20 tickets go on general sale on Sunday at 9am. Members and T20 season ticket holders can buy early on Saturday from 11am.
