Hants thrash Surrey to reach Women's One-Day Cup final

Hampshire booked their place in the Women's One-Day Cup final for a second consecutive year with a commanding 194-run triumph over Surrey at the Utilita Bowl. After being asked to bat, Hampshire amassed 303 for five behind an unbeaten 117 from Maia Bouchier, marking her consecutive ton and fifth of 2026.

Bouchier anchored century partnerships with Freya Kemp, who struck 77 from 63 deliveries, and Abi Norgrove, who added 60 before falling run out on the final ball. Sune Luus managed two wickets for 43 runs for Surrey, who had earlier removed Ella McCaughan and Georgia Adams during the opening 11 overs.

3 overs, with Rachel King top-scoring with 34 before being run out. Australian spinner Amanda-Jade Wellington spearheaded the attack, securing figures of 5-19 and sealing the result by having Kira Chathli stumped.

Following Daisy Gibb's dismissal of Sophia Dunkley, Surrey's lineup unraveled against spin, with Luus, Jemima Spence, Phoebe Franklin, Alice Davidson-Richards, Ryana Macdonald-Gay, and Alice Monaghan all falling in rapid succession. Hampshire will now host The Blaze in Saturday's final at the Utilita Bowl, aiming to bounce back from their previous loss to Lancashire in last year's decider.
