Hampshire, Blaze, Surrey and Warwickshire clinch vital T20 wins
Four late‑June victories tighten the Women’s T20 Blast title race, with Hampshire, The Blaze, Surrey and Warwickshire all securing crucial wins.
Hampshire Women surged ahead in the Women’s T20 Blast, sitting two points clear at the summit after Maia Bouchier’s fifth half‑century of the month powered an eight‑wicket victory over Durham. The Blaze capitalised on the momentum, rattling off a nine‑wicket demolition of Essex to climb into second place. Their disciplined bowling and aggressive batting left the opposition reeling, tightening the race for the top two spots.
Meanwhile, Surrey Stars edged Somerset by the narrowest of margins, clinching the win on the final ball of the innings. In Blackpool, Warwickshire Bears eked out Lancashire Thunder by a single run, delivering a thriller that left fans on the edge of their seats. These four results have compressed the top of the table into a razor‑thin band.
