Hampshire Women v Lancashire
Metro Bank One Day Cup
Wednesday 26 (10:30am start)
Utilita Bowl
Hampshire host Lancashire in a repeat of last year’s women’s Metro Bank One Day Cup Final.
The Rose and Crown currently sit second in the table with nine wins from 12 matches and are just five points away from The Blaze in top spot.
Georgia Adams made 115 off just 103 balls last time out against Surrey and also claimed three wickets with the ball as Hampshire were victorious by four wickets inside the 42nd over.
Amanda-Jade Wellington starred too, with four for 37 from ten overs as the Rose and Crown secured another four points.
In their last outing, the Red Rose of Lancashire thumped Essex by 153 runs at Blackpool.
Eve Jones’ half-century extended her lead as the club’s leading run-scorer in the competition, with contributions throughout the middle order.
Off spinner Fi Morris then claimed six for 27 from ten overs as Essex were skittled for 119 in 35 overs to give Lancs a bonus-point win at home.
Lancashire came out on top the last time they faced Hampshire, as they won by six wickets with over 16 overs still to spare at Old Trafford in May earlier this year.

Winter moves: September’s final hero Gaby Lewis returns as overseas, Ireland’s captain having hit a stunning unbeaten 141 in chasing 289 at Hampshire to complete the County T20 and One Day Cup double. Fellow opener Tilly Kesteven, star of last May’s County Cup final against Surrey, has signed her maiden pro contract. Experienced seamer Phoebe Graham has retired into a pathway coaching role, joining new senior bowling coaches Mattie McKiernan and Scott Boswell.
The big question: Can Lancashire go one step further and complete the treble? It will be a huge ask, of course, despite the immense quality they have. But the Red Rose were frustrated at missing out on a Finals Day place in the Vitality Blast last year and want to rectify that in 2026. Largely speaking, though, the hunters are now the hunted. It’s a challenge they are excited to tackle.
Player to watch: The obvious one would be Emma Lamb. Her form with the bat was sensational, sailing beyond 1,000 runs in all competitions. However, we know all about the England star. Instead, let’s look at dynamic Scotland batter Ailsa Lister. An emerging middle-order prospect, the 21-year-old hit the winning runs in the final at Hampshire and has a huge summer ahead, including June’s Women’s T20 World Cup in England.
Final thought: Aside from the trophy hunt, there are a couple of really exciting things on the horizon for Lancashire. Firstly, Yorkshire’s elevation to Tier 1 introduces the Roses rivalry to the professional era of women’s domestic cricket in England. Also, Emirates Old Trafford will host the Vitality T20 County Cup Finals Day on Saturday 29 August. The defending champions would love to be there.
