Bouchier ton, Wellington five-for seal final spot for Hampshire

Freya Kemp and Abi Norgrove chip in with fifties to thrash Surrey

Hampshire 303 for 5 (Bouchier 117*, Kemp 77, Norgrove 60) beat Surrey 109 (King 34, Wellington 5-19) by 194 runs

Maia Bouchier scored a majestic century in back-to-back matches to send Hampshire to the Metro Bank One Day Cup Final for the second season in a row.

Bouchier followed her 118 against The Blaze with a breathtaking 117 not out, to make it three hundreds in September, including her 104 for England against Ireland in Leicester. She is the domestic competition's leading run-scorer with 721 in 11 innings.

She had century stands with Freya Kemp and Abi Norgrove, who scored 77 and 60 respectively, as Hampshire piled up 303 for 5.

Surrey were rolled out for 109 in response, with Australian Amanda-Jade Wellington picking up 5 for 19 to take her tally up to 37 in 2026.

Hampshire will face The Blaze in the Final on Saturday at Utilita Bowl, looking to avenge last year's Final defeat to Lancashire.

This was a rerun of last year's semi-final. On that occasion, Surrey chose to bat in grim conditions but this time - with unthreatening clouds above - they stuck their hosts in.

Despite Bouchier quickly slotting into gear and captain and wicketkeeper Kira Chathli taken off after an over, the visitors got a foothold in the match by dismissing Ella McCaughan and Georgia Adams inside 11 overs.

Things felt even at 50 for 2 but Kemp's arrival and her aggressive batting swung the momentum. Her 77 in 63, in a 110-run partnership with a supporting Bouchier, was a masterclass in powerful batting, attacking the midwicket boundary at will.

Kemp and Rhianna Southby were both caught and bowled, but the impetus remained with Hampshire, with Norgrove arriving to continue her impressive form. Since returning from The Hundred, Norgrove now has three fifties in five innings in the 50-over tournament.

Bouchier has 423 runs in five innings for Hampshire and England and is up to a remarkable 1,680 runs this summer.

Both were relentless in wearing Surrey down and barreled their way past 300. Bouchier - who was given a life on 62 - was strong through the cover region and straight, effortlessly to reaching her fifth hundred of 2026. Norgrove was run out off the last ball of the innings.

The 304 target for Surrey always looked tough on a good but tired pitch, and despite Rachel King giving them a solid start, the chase never gathered traction.

After Daisy Gibb had taken the crucial wicket of Sophia Dunkley, spin took hold and wouldn't relent.

Sune Luus holed out, Jemima Spence was bowled advancing, Phoebe Franklin was caught, Alice Davidson-Richards edged to slip, King was run out, and Ryana Macdonald-Gay and Alice Monaghan were bowled.

Wellington finished things off by having Chathli stumped, to complete her second five-wicket haul of the competition.
