Hampshire, Essex, and The Blaze Secure Thrilling Wins in 2026 One-Day Cup

Hampshire rose to the top of the One-Day Cup table, while Essex and The Blaze secured their first wins of the season in a series of nail-biting matches.

Wyatt-Hodge Heroics Not Enough for Surrey England batter Danni Wyatt-Hodge put up a valiant performance, hitting a stunning century for Surrey against Hampshire, but it was not enough to prevent Surrey from losing back-to-back matches. Wyatt-Hodge's century was her second of the season, but it ultimately counted for nothing as Hampshire emerged victorious by 13 runs. Maia Bouchier and Abi Norgrove had earlier underpinned Hampshire's 272 with half-centuries, while Bex Tyson proved the best of the left-arm spinners, taking three wickets despite not being selected for the T20 World Cup. ## Yorkshire and Durham Tie Thriller Phoebe Turner and Jess Jonassen scored brilliant centuries for Durham and Yorkshire, respectively, as the two teams played out a thrilling tie at Scarborough. Turner's 100 not out off 82 balls represented her maiden competitive century, while Jonassen scored 104 off 109 balls, her second ton in as many games. The tie was decided by four run outs, including Rachel Slater's attempt to scramble a single through to wicketkeeper Tahlia Wilson off the last ball from Turner. ## Grewcock Steers Essex to First Win Jodi Grewcock scored her maiden professional hundred to propel Essex to a five-wicket victory over Somerset. Arriving in the middle with the score 21-3, Grewcock came to the rescue with a match-winning innings of 120 not out from 116 balls, adding 106 with Jo Gardner and an unbeaten 116 with Flo Miller for the fifth and sixth wickets respectively. Gardner posted a valuable 50, and Miller contributed 54 not out, while Alex Griffiths bowled well to claim 3-42, but lacked support as Somerset surrendered their 100% record and leadership of the table. ## Pavely's Effort Falls Short as The Blaze Beat Bears Charis Pavely underlined her explosive qualities with the bat by smashing a career-best unbeaten 128 off just 102 balls, but it was not enough to secure victory for Warwickshire after The Blaze smashed 105 off the final 10 overs to take the points. After being set 303 to win, opener Marie Kelly laid the foundations with a List A career-best 79, and England skipper Nat Sciver-Brunt contributed 47, but it was a 30-ball 56 from Ireland international Orla Prendergast that ultimately proved the match-winning knock.
