Durham v Hampshire Women
Metro Bank One Day Cup
Thursday 3 September (10:30am start)
Banks Homes Riverside
Hampshire head north to Chester-le-Street as they face sixth-placed Durham in the women’s Metro Bank One Day Cup.
The Rose and Crown were defeated by last year’s champions, Lancashire, in their previous fixture last Wednesday.
Abi Norgrove made an unbeaten 70 after Freya Kemp scored 61 on her return to the side.
Georgia Adams picked up two wickets, but 68 from Emma Lamb and 42 not out from Seren Smale saw the Red Rose over the line in the penultimate over.
Durham were beaten by Somerset in their last outing, by three wickets with five overs to spare.
Emma Marlow top scored with 71 whilst England’s Lauren Filer picked up two for 56.
In the last meeting between the two sides, Lauren Bell’s five for 22 decimated the visitors as they were bowled out for 118.
Maia Bouchier’s 47 bore the brunt of the chase as Hampshire completed a dominant bonus point victory.

Winter moves: Australian wicketkeeper-opener Tahlia Wilson has signed overseas terms for the first half of this competition. She is the only arrival ahead of 2026, with no departures. Wilson, 26, was part of the New South Wales side which reached last month’s WNCL final. She has also made her international debut inside the last fortnight, an ODI appearance in the West Indies. Emerging batter Harriet Robson has signed her maiden rookie professional contract.
The big question: Durham showed encouraging signs last summer, winning five of their 14 games, with one of those victories at home to eventual champions Lancashire in late July. They had a chance of semi-final qualification going into the final round of group games, only to lose to Surrey at the Banks Homes Riverside. With a year’s experience under their belts, can they kick on and mount a bigger challenge for the semi-finals?
Player to watch: All-rounder Phoebe Turner was the second leading wicket-taker in last season’s One Day Cup. Her 22 wickets actually made her the most prolific seamer, with only Warwickshire off-spinner Georgia Davis (23) bettering her haul. Turner, 22, has just signed a contract extension through until the end of 2027 and has England A experience under her belt. She was also part of England’s Performance Programme during the winter.
Final thought: Durham start at home to defending champions Lancashire on April 11, and there’s more northern rivalry this summer with Yorkshire having been elevated to Tier 1. A number of Durham’s squad were based at Headingley within the Northern Diamonds set-up in the old regional era, and some came through the White Rose system – captain Hollie Armitage, for one. They meet for the first time at Scarborough on April 29.
