Surrey solidify their position at the top of the Women’s T20 Blast following a commanding 34-run victory over The Blaze at Trent Bridge. Phoebe Franklin’s aggressive 46 off 30 balls powered Surrey to 155-9, despite Charli Knott’s career-best 6-25 spell.
Franklin’s partnership with Alice Monaghan (35 off 27 balls) proved pivotal on a challenging pitch. Knott’s all-round performance—including a career-high seven-wicket haul—was offset by The Blaze’s late collapse, losing eight wickets for 23 runs to secure only 121.
A Northampton-based partnership between Lauren Winfield-Hill (99 off 55) and Sterre Kalis (84 not out off 50) etched history
as they equalled the world record for the highest fourth-wicket stand in women’s T20 cricket (167 runs). Yorkshire’s record-breaking total of 210-4 ensured their first win of the season, though they remain bottom of the table.
Elsewhere, Durham’s emphatic seven-wicket win over Lancashire at Chester-le-Street sees them rise to third. Trudy Johnson’s career-best 3-7 dismantled the visitors for 79, while Yorkshire’s Sohail Khan (2-30) limited Somerset to 199-5 despite Anika Learoyd’s 103*.
