Womens T20 Blast

Maia Bouchier's unbeaten 74 steered Hampshire Hawks to a comfortable eight-wicket triumph over Lancashire Thunder, highlighting her World Cup omission.

Tammy Beaumont's half-century propelled The Blaze to the summit of the Women's T20 Blast, whilst Somerset's dominant display moved them into third place.

The Women's T20 Blast witnessed a dramatic shake-up as both Surrey and The Blaze suffered their maiden defeats of the campaign.

A last-over thriller at Southampton saw Hampshire claim their second tie in four matches, preventing Surrey from securing maximum points in the Women's T20 Blast.

The defending champions made light work of Yorkshire's 133 at Headingley, whilst Somerset and Durham also secured valuable victories in the second round of fixtures.

Defending champions Surrey marked their title defence with an impressive six-wicket victory over Lancashire Thunder, with captain Bryony Smith leading from the front.
