- The Blaze won the One-Day Cup final with a boundary off the last ball, sealing a 252-run chase against Hampshire at the Utilita Bowl
- Emma Jones remained unbeaten on 34 from 25 balls and hit the winning runs in the final over, guiding The Blaze to their third trophy of the season
- Hampshire posted 252 for 9 after Ella McCaughan (78) and Freya Kemp (52) led a mid-innings surge before collapsing from 166-2 to lose eight wickets for 86
- Amanda-Jade Wellington took 3-36 including the key wicket of Tammy Beaumont, helping trigger a Blaze slump from 173-2 to 204-6 during the middle overs
- Georgia Elwiss scored 64 and shared a 117-run stand with Beaumont (74), laying the foundation for The Blaze’s successful run chase before falling to Bex Tyson
Why it matters: The Blaze now hold all three major domestic trophies in a single season, a rare feat that cements their dominance in women's domestic cricket, while Hampshire endure back-to-back final losses on home soil despite posting a competitive total and nearly defending it.
